help installing BCM4313 WLAN - SLED 11 SP2 x864

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Hardware
1

kernel version 3.0.13-0.27-default

as per lspci

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

I download the driver from www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz , and install it via

make clean
make
cp wl.ko /lib/modules/3.0.13-0.27-default/kernel/net/wireless/
depmod -a
modprobe lib80211
modprobe wl

everything went smooth

now [code]

modinfo wl

but still I don’t find the wireless card when I run the “yast2 lan”

I installed the same driver using the above step atop SLED 11 SP1 x86 and it worked i.e wireless lan card available in “yast2 lan” . But this time I installed the driver on SLED 11 SP2 x864.
