OpenSuSE 13.2 / Dell Inspiron 1501 / Broadcom B43 wireless solution

I've installed OpenSuSE 13.2 on a older Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. Everithing was fine, except for the wireless card which refused to work. After searching the internet I found out that the problem was the B34 driver. So, here is my solution:

1) Make sure that the b43-fwcutter package is installed. Open Software Management, search for it and install it if it's not

2) Open Dolphin as SuperUser and find /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
Right click on it and select Actions>Run in Konsole (so that you can see the output).

3) Reboot.
