Comment 18 for bug 808963

In fact, this problem still occurs in opensuse11.4 GM.
The problem is just that the brcm40211 driver is too unstable.

A wordaround is to blaclist the brcm40211 driver in order to reactivate the broadcom-wl driver (as at current stage, the wl driver is much more usable)

procedure are as follows:

goto directory /etc/modprobe.d
cat find the file 50-blacklist.conf
add blacklist brcm80211 to the end of the file

this has solved the problem for me on opensuse 11.4 GM
