My laptop uses a Broadcom Wireless Internet Card and I run SuSE Pro 9.0. Does anyone know if I can activate the wireless feature of my laptop. The card has a model #BCM94306MPSG if that makes any difference.

Is this just a matter of installing the correct drivers like with other hardware, or is this more complicated than that? I am thinking of hiring a consulting service to configure this, and I want to know how large a project it would be. It would be a dream if I could get it running, but I bought the laptop counting on the worst case scenario (i.e. that I couldn't).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Everyone on these boards has been so helpful in past postings.

Thanks

I believe that either ndiswrapper http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net or driverwrapper http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader are the only way to currently get broadcom wireless cards to work. Broadcomm has yet to give the open source community the time of day as far as wireless is concerned (to the best of my knowledge). I had heard about a hack using the driver that is included in the source for a Linksys wireless router/gateway, so maybe google around for that.
