That card works with ndiswrapper, a system for using the windows wireless driver for that card in linux. There aren't any native linux drivers for that card in the current suse kernel so you have to use ndiswrapper and the windows driver. Search the board for "ndiswrapper AND broadcom" you will find numerous posts addressing this issue. In general the steps are:

1. Install ndiswrapper;
2. Install the windows driver in linux using ndiswrapper;
3. Modify the configuration files to autoload ndiswrapper on boot;
4. Configure the wireless network settings.

I might add this is a lot to do if you are unfamiliar with linux.

:confused:
If i tryed install ndiswrapper i have this massage>

make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.21/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-default/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.21/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I not understand what i must to do.:scratch:

now i have installed ndiswrapper. i try install device...

I know this reply is a bit late, but I only just discovered what went wrong when trying to compile ndiswrapper on Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). I basically get the same error and all I had to do was download and install some compiling tools by typing 'sudo apt-get isntall build-essential'. Then ndiswrapper compiled without a hitch and the BCM 4311 is now working, too.

I've installed SuSE 10.1 x86-64 architecture on a HP Pavilion dv2120us notebook. The notebook has the BCM 4311 device. Installed the ndiswrapper from the SuSE 10.1 installation DVD. Got the bcmwl5.inf file from the 'Software & Driver downloads*HP Pavilion dv2120us Notebook PC' site - the sp33575.exe download. ndiswrapper reports the bcmwl5 driver is installed. Configured the wireless settings. Ran dhclient wlan0 and got a DHCP address!

# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present

# iwlist wlan0 scan
< showed my AP>

# iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed

# iwconfig wlan0 key open XXXXXXXX

# iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID

## wlan0 ESSID must be set now, verify...

# iwconfig wlan0

# dhclient wlan0

So i am guessing your are all good now right?
