WIFI /w Broadcom
Hello All! Pls help...confused about how to implement wifi
connection. Running SuSE 10.3/x86_64 on HP Pavillion 9000
w/Broadcom BCM94311MCG rev. 02 mini-pci wireless card.
Kernel version: 2.6.22.17-0.1-default SMP
CPU: AMD Turion 64x2 TL-52@1600MHz
Memory: 2GB
Goal: To use wifi by default (if chassis switch is on), but
use standard ethernet/cat5 cable when connected (wifi
chassis switch is off).
Prefer use of native driver(s) if possible, but will use ndiswrapper
if I can get step-by-step instructions for above kernel version.
Seems appropriate driver (bcm43xx/b43) and step-by-step changed
several times. Done a good bit of reading; *still* confused!
TIA!

First you have to tell us what the chipset is in that particular card.
