May be migrate to b43? Or update wl for 3.x kernel?

Is there a RPM to do so ?

Hi
If you pop over the the openSUSE forums in the wireless section there
are some ‘stickies’ at the beginning of the forum on what to do.

If your still having problems post the info requested in those stickies
and will ask the broadcom wireless kernel developer who hangs out in
the openSUSE forum to pop in here for some assistance.

Are you have wl driver installed? If it is true, try to update driver

Hi
SP2 has the 3.0.13, not the 2.6.32 so it’s incompatible…

It’s also for the b/g/n device AFAIK the OP only has a b/g device.

I’m running a Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353]
(rev 01) device device, but built my own KMP as it’s using brcmsmac.

Hi Malcom,

Do I need to build the brcmsmac SRPM then install it, and install the PAE module after ?
I will try it later this week.

Regards,

Arnaud

Hi
Just select the 1-click for your kernel flavor (pae?) and it will
install the module and the rules file. Reboot and you should be good to
go. Don’t forget to uncheck the box to stay subscribed to my repository.

Just brcmsmac-kmp-default and the rules one will get automatically
included.
