Michael, On the openSUSE wireless forum was just posted the following info:
======================= I've finally tested it with OpenSuSe 11.1. And it works!!! my broadcom 4318 wireless device works with the b43 firmware only if I install the older version broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2. (no ndiswrapper is needed) This is puzzling since the b43 linux wireless website clearly states this version is meant for the linux kernel 2.6.24 or older. This would suggest a conflict between the newer firmware and the current kernel. I fixed my problem and like I said I stumbled upon the same problem in Ubuntu. Thus I decided to email the b43 developers, but so far I've received no reply. $ dmesg b43-pci-bridge 0000:06:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -216435972 ns) input: b43-phy0 as /devices/virtual/input/input8 firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02) b43-phy0 warning: You are using an old firmware image.

Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio ==================================== Do you know of any reason why version 410 firmware fails on this device?
