    I added blacklist bcm43xx to modprobe.conf.local because I dont know where to add it inside of modprobe.conf, and modprobe.conf also uses whatever is inside of the local. I also added it into the blacklist inside of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. This is what I get when I type dmesg

    sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0

    ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
    eth0: Media Link Off

    and now ifconfig

    In Yast, it is set up as wlan0, but it is not listed anywhere.

    I got it to work. the bcmw43xx drivers that came preinstalled was messing with the NDIS driver. So I deleted the config of the bcmw43xx in network cards, configured the new one with module being ndiswrapper, and when I restarted Linux it worked. Thanks guys, sorry for being a pain.
