Hey Arne, Just a few things about running opensuse 10.2. Suse's tapping recognition has been excellent on every single laptop I've tried in on, so not quite sure why you'd need extra code for it. The default kernel is obsolete and like Larry says, > 2.6.21 is where the good stuff is at. My advice would be to update the kernel right away... that might fix the lack of sound. Here's the factory kernel repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory(this is in development and constantly updated, but I'm using it in 10.3 and haven't had any issues with the current version at least). If that doesn't help, you might want to check Yast / Hardware / Sound to see what's going on there.
The nvidia driver is best downloaded from nvidia's website (there may be a current official repo, but I don't know since I'm stuck with ATI). Installation is very straightforward and pretty much a breeze. You probably won't be able to get the bcm43xx driver working with your wireless card, but if you really want to give it a good shot, fwcutter is in the net install repo: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suseand you can get the firmware off the net if you don't already have it. You can always check Yast / Network Devices / Network Card to see what suse is doing with your network cards. As Gene said, your best bet to get that particular card working is probably to use ndiswrapper. Goodluck.
