Hello...
I am an absolute beginner in linux trying to get open suse 13.1 working on a laptop
I am UNABLE to connect through both wired and wireless.
The Laptop is HP Pavillion DV5 1000
The ethernet card on it is RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller(enp3s0)
The Wifi card is BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
After the installation, I downloaded the firmware for the broadcom wireless and installed it.
Then it started showing the wireless controller as well..
Then I opened YAST
Set it to traditional method
Tried to configure the BCM4312
I selected the "Dynamic Adress" DHCP in the Adress tab
Then did the scan in the next page and found my wireless network in the list
I entered the passphrase and it shows it as connected.
The wifi light turned BLUE after this.
But I still have no internet.
Any help is greatly appreciated....
Following are the results of the ifconfig etc
