    OpenSuse 11.3 - Wireless

    OK... I finally gave up trying to configue the Broadcom 4311 card. I went and bought a Netgear WPN111 USB wireless adapter. I've looke for the drivers but I can't seem to find them.
    Can anyone help me? I'm running a Dell Inspiron e1705.
    Thanx!

    PS: I'm a newbie, so bear with me...

    You need yo add the Packman repository and then select the file broadcom-wl-your kernel version to install and then configure it either with network manager or with ifup.

    I found the Windows' driver page, but can't link to it. Maybe you can use ndiswrapper? Sorry, I can't be that helpful. I've never used a USB modem.
