I downloaded the hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.10.91.9.3.tar.gz and have successfully completed all the steps up to "modprobe lib80211". When I try to do this from the hybrid_wl https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/423422-Hybrid-Linux-Driver-for-Broadcom-4312-not-installing directory, I get the message "FATAL: Module lib80211 not found.". If I ignore this and try to install the wl.ko module with the command insmod wl.ko I get the message " insmod: error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module". I am assuming that because I could not modprobe lib80211, I get the latter error. Could you please tell me where lib80211 is supposed to be located or has anyone on this list installed this/these drivers before? Please find below a log of what I've done and some system information. Also, note that I did not have a blacklist.conf in /etc/modprobe.d but I did have a 'blacklist'. I appended the recommended blacklist items to both. Any help would be very much appreciated!

You need to boot your system to the current 2.6.18-194.11.3. That should solve the problem.
