I just installed OpenSUSE 12.3 on my laptop with Gnome. I'm unable to connect to any wifi. I don't even have the "Wireless" submenu on the top right of my screen. All I have is the "Wired" submenu. I tried a lot of things but without success. I have something like that when I enter "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" :

lo    Link encap:Local Loopback  
      inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
      UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
      RX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

      collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
      RX bytes:9691 (9.4 Kb)  TX bytes:9691 (9.4 Kb)

p1p1  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr A4:BA:DB:CC:16:19  
      inet addr:192.168.1.9  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

      collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
      RX bytes:316 (316.0 b)  TX bytes:3768 (3.6 Kb)

Earlier I tried to manually add a vlan0 interface from the YaST, but I still wouldn't get any IP on this interface. Can you please help me?

Was perusing either of these pages part of that lot of thing you tried without success? If so, then the problem appears to be that OpenSUSE 12.3 doesn't recognize your wireless card at all... as in it doesn't think you have one. As per this thread, you apparently have to install the drivers for the card specifically, and there appear to be issues in general with Broadcom. Recommendation as per that thread is to use the official Broadcom drivers.
