There is a button for Suse one-click-install, on the right hand side. I don't know if clicking it will install the driver, but you can try.
hi waterhead,
its nice to hear from you. i tried the repo Packman but it downloaded many things. after i restarted, my suse does not boot anymore and i will be trying to download again in a while since I have to reinstall my partition. will keep you posted.
I apologize if my instructions left you with a non-working system.
I am at a loss to explain what happened. It is possible that you needed a different kernel, to match the wl kernel module. But it should still boot into the new kernel. Did you have a video driver from nVidia or ATI that you installed on the system? It would have to be reinstalled, if a new kernel was installed.
