Problem: nothing provides kernel(xen:kernel) = 036c1ddeb629ddd6 needed by broadcom-wl-kmp-xen-5.100.82.112_k2.6.34.10_0.2-9.2.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-9.2.x86_64
Solution 2: break broadcom-wl-kmp-xen-5.100.82.112_k2.6.34.10_0.2-9.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Am I pointing to the wrong repository or possibly missing something from my system?
Could someone please help point me in the right directions. I read over several theads to get this far and am now at a bit of a loss.
I am somewhat new to Linux but not to other types of unix.
Hi
You need to remove that packman repository as they are not compatible
with SLED 11 SP3. What you need to do is grab the broadcom-wl src rpm
and rebuilt that locally on your system.
You will need to install the kernel-source, kernel-syms,
module-init-tools, make and gcc, then rebuild the src rpm as your user
(not root!);
rpmbuild --rebuild <name_of_src_rpm>

I removed the packman repository. I installed the needed modules and then did the rpm rebuild. That appears to have worked successfully and generated the rpm files. When I tried to install them I again got kernel dependency errors similar to what I first had. I am guessing that this is because I had the wrong source rpm to start. Could you (or anyone else) please point me in the right direction so I can find the proper source RPM for my version of SLED?
Hi
So you need to install the broadcom-wl and the
broadcom-wl-kmp-<your_kernel_flavor> (in your case default) rpms which
should be down in /usr/src/packages.

Did I start with the wrong source rpm? Iff so, I am not sure which one I need for my kernel rev.
So I am not sure how to procede as there does not appear to be anything to remove.[/QUOTE]
Hi
OK, then try the install of the two rpms at the same time.
Installing both packages at the same time was the trick. I rebooted and now can see my wireless.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
Good news Now just remember on a kernel update, it will move the installed module to the ‘weak’ update class, it will work however it’s best the then run through the same procedure again when a kernel update is installed, as in rebuild the src rpm and install with the zypper command.
