    SuSE 10.2/Broadcom wireless problem.

    Hello,
    I just bought an HP Pavilion dv6445 laptop with Broadcom wireless. So far I haven't been able to get the wireless working. I am using a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. When I open YAST my ethernet is detected but not the Broadcom. I try to add a wireless connection using all the included WLAN interfaces but with no luck. I.m using openSUSE 10.2.

    Any help appreciated.

    I have Suse 10.2 on my Dell laptop. It has a built in wireless with Broadcom chips. I use NDISwrapper to enable the wireless. It uses the windows drivers to interface with the wireless.
