  1. Man, thank you very much. Worked like a charm.

  2. Works perfect on my HP Compaq 6715s.

    Thanks!!!

  3. thanks, for the article. helped avoid manual configuration of drivers so many times.

    Brodcom, i wish you GPL your code.

    Dell I hope you switch to intel chipsets for your n series (linux based) laptops.

  4. ABSOLUTLEY DO NOT INSTALL ON A HP 6735B LAPTOP WITH SUSE 11.2!!!!!

    If you have anything of value you might end up losing it unless you know what your are doing. It killed all my binarys so I could boot or access anything. I thought it was something else I did until the second time I tried to install. I really havent had time to look into it to see exactly what happens but since the computer was a fresh install i didnt care. I guess I will have to load up the driver manually. But none the less people just dropping by and going to install this driver on 11.2 and same laptop I have should have a good knowledge of linux before allowing it to install or you just might lose everything….

    Just my .02 for what its worth.

  5. ONE-CLICK INSTALL ha ha ha

  6. Please Help!!!
    I installed Open Suse 11.3 on a Dell Inspiron 1705.
    I’ve tried everything to get the wireless working… and for a moment it did. But It seems that it got confused somehow. It doesn’t recognize the wireless interface. It gives me two eth connections.
    It does takes the IP from the AP but still can’t surf through internet.
    Do you know how can I change the names of the interfaces?
    I was doing it first through NetworkManager but switched to Ifup, and that’s when it changed.
    Thanks
