Dear Tejas --

Thanks -- I installed the broadcom-wl from packman with Yast. After
reboot the card still does not seem to be recognized (iwconfig, e.g.,
says there is no wireless). What do I do next? I think I must be
missing something here.
Check that the wl kernel module loaded and make sure that the blacklist
file installed with the package /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist is
working (the modules listed in it should not be loaded). (Use lsmod)

Once the module is loaded, it just works for me. My NIC shows up as eth1
on a Dell Studio 15 with the same bcm4312.

Regards,

Tejas
