This is a major problem especially if one has Wireless drivers that are not fully supported like BCM4313, (broadcom-wl rpm from Packman works excellent, there is a problem with the b43 package with opensuse). For those who were unlucky like me i had to get internet connection from a second computer and download the sources to install on my notebook. Would be nice if atleast AR8161 compat drivers would be packaged with the next release Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download Iso image from Opensuse and install in a computer with atheros AR8161 Actual Results: Ethernet is not recognised Expected Results: Recognise and support the AR8161 device fully -- 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.
