These packages contain Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid
Linux® device driver for use with Broadcom's
BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based
hardware. There are different tars for 32-bit and 64-bit
x86 CPU architectures. Make sure that you download the
appropriate tar because the hybrid binary file must be of
the appropriate architecture type. The hybrid binary file
is agnostic to the specific version of the Linux kernel
because it is designed to perform all interactions with the
operating system through operating-system-specific files
and an operating system abstraction layer file. All Linux
operating-system-specific code is provided in source form,
making it possible to retarget to different kernel versions
and fix operating system related issues.
NOTE: You must read the LICENSE.TXT file in the lib
directory before using this software.

how does one install this in opensuse?
Sorry for the delay in responding,
Download and extract the tar to a new folder and follow the directions at the link below; Should work even though it's for Fedora.

I am using the b43-cutter driver--if you need help with that please go here:

I haven't done any research but I suspect that openSUSE will have a packaged version ready by when openSUSE 11.1 rolls out in December.
Let me know if that works!!
