I searched the opensuse website and I found that I should run

Code:

install_bcm43xx_firmware

after running the command and near the end of the installation I got my first Kernel Panic.

So, I need to know how to get the wireless running because I am using my android tethering feature for the internet.

and how to get the log for the kernel panic?

my laptop is Acer Extensa 5220 and I am using KDE

Thanks.
