kernel-firmware supplements all supported hardware and is default on the live media, that's all that should be necessary. If there is hardware not supplemented, you need to provide more details.

OK, I believe you that the package kernel-firmware is present in the live media (althought being defective: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673054 ), but when someone installs openSUSE 11.4 RC1 from the official network repositories by using openSUSE-NET-*-x86_64.iso, for example, then the entire kernel-firmware package will be missing from the system. It has to be selected/installed by hand because it's not part of the default installation. This is what I'm asking you to change. The package kernel-firmware should be present on newly installed 11.4 systems by default! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is there a specific reason for it

Probably. My wlan card needs the brcm80211 driver which needs the kernel-firmware package ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673054 ). Despite this it wasn't installed automatically and I had to add it later manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
