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.

I don't know what I did but the wireless is working now.
I just ran the install_bcm43xx_firmware and I got a kernel panic once more after restarting the wireless was working...

Thank you.
