Hi
I use this script I created to generate the softlinks (needs to be run
as root user)

After the Migration from SLED11-SP2 to SP3 32 bit, I’ve tried to install broadcom wl driver from the src.rpm version “broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-9.9.src.rpm”
I’ve installed the wl driver using the below command
rpmbuild --rebuild --define ‘_topdir /home/naren_bishayee/mybuild’ broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-9.9.src.rpm
But, now, I’m facing some horrible problem that I never thought.
On NetworkManager Applet, taskbar-right side, displaying the ‘tick mark’ on the “Enable Wireless”, If I rightclick on the applet, but my card does not recognige any network, in fact, it does not show me any Wifi Network name on the List.
I’ve checked using the “iwconfig wlan0” command, and the output is below
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:“all”
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on
Can you please help me to figure out
before SP3, SLED-11SP2, my card was working well, but dont know whats the problem with SP3 and the card driver. The installed driver was also working with SP2 version.
That command won’t install the driver, it just rebuilds the src rpm. You need to install the rpm which got built.
The forum software converts many sections of that to smiley faces. When ever you post output like this wrap it in CODE tags. This makes it easier to read and prevents the forum software doing things like converting parts of it to smiley faces. You can wrap text in CODE tags by selecting it then clicking the # button in the formatting toolbar.
First off, Im alittle new to Linux. I have just installed the latest version of SuSE 13.1.9(2013-12-09) from http://software.opensuse.org/131/en
installation was fine. However, in KNetworkmanager my wireless tab is ‘grayed out’ and not selectable ?
I have a DELL inspiron 1525. OK, so after a little research…
The BASH console is telling me the network.pcmcia hardware is a ‘WIRELESS 1395 WLAN MINI-CARD’
DEVICE = BCM4312 802.11 b/g
DRIVER = b43-pci-bridge
KERNEL DRIVE = ssb
Further reading tells me that if I have a problem I should try the hybrid_wl module from Broadcom to sort it out? However reading the above threads I don’t know if the hybrid_wl is required?
Sadly I don’t know what ‘SP1 SP2 OR SP3’ is !
Also on the desktop the Kinfocenter is flagged with an exclamation mark (just like windows device manager) within the PCIMODULES, is this further telling me theres a problem within the modules(drivers) PCI BUS.
Any help will be greatly received (except if you tell me to FDISK and go back to pen and paper)
Your confusion comes from you being on the wrong forum
This forum is for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) but what you have installed is openSUSE. The forums for openSUSE are located at http://forums.opensuse.org/. If you post there you’ll probably find someone who can help. (Incidentally, it’s generally considered better to start your own thread about your issue rather than replying in an existing thread, especially one that’s been dormant a while.)
The SP in SP1, SP2 SP3 stands for Service Pack and they’re versions of SLED 11. The current version is SLED 11 SP3.
