<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a new install of SUSE 10 on a laptop that has built in wireless. <br />
<br />
The system sees the wireless adapter by name <br />
System &gt;&nbsp;YaST &gt;&nbsp;Hardware &gt;&nbsp;Hardware Information &gt;<br />
And I see in that info:<br />
BCM4306 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN Controller <br />
<br />
But when I go to “System &gt;&nbsp;YaST &gt;&nbsp;Network Devices &gt;&nbsp;Network Card”, &nbsp;The regular 10/100 Ethernet card shows up but the wireless does not. <br />
<br />
Is there a Linux driver I need for the wireless card to work? <br />
The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (E Machines M6809) and I do know that the card works when I boot the notebook into Windows XP <br />
