If the rt2860ST driver is already contained in kernel 2.6.29, it should be detected. I your driver comes from an external module, you have to find a RPM built for 2.6.29, or you have to build the driver yourself.
I had to enter yast network settings turn off NetworkManager, press OK, enter a second time and reactivate NetworkManager. After that the ath5k driver I needed for my eeePC works fine.
Be careful with updating the kernel. From time to time the kernels from Kernel:HEAD do not work properly, but most of time time they work well. And maybe at some point one has to upgrade other supporting software, too.

rt2860ST is not onboard than helas... i would have had to configure it myself.. Henne has these if irc... I would like it more that the modules were seperate: called: eee-pc kernel modules, and that all needed would be included. And be maintained ofcourse.... So all one had to do was install these, and Hop! Ready to go. Hotkeys, camera, network, what would there be more?
Rt2860 is not recognised, but the socalled 'userspace configuration module' is installed. Helas i do not know how to invoke it..:( Networkmanagement does not find it:
I have found another important thing I have done for my eeepc. WLAN modules are anebled/disabled by hotplugging them. But the BIOS doesn't tell this via ACPI. So one has to force the load of module pciehp. I do this with a /etc/modprobe.d/eeepc file: options pciehp pciehp_force=1 install eeepc-laptop /sbin/modprobe pciehp; /sbin/modprobe -i eeepc-laptop $CMDLINE_ARGS The reason for doing it this way is, that the cahnge to the system is isolated to one single file. It is easier to make a rpm when on can install an additional file, than modifying an existing one. Another reason is, that the first line of this file is needed anyway.

But the volume hotkeys work: up down, not mute.
You need a script for this with plain openSUSE 11.1. The new kernel generates the proper scan codes, which are recognized by KDE. Even a volume bar is shown. Nice, isn't it? :-)
Network: can't verify..
Hope I can help with this.
Sleep: works. Screen brightness : works
Does already for openSUSE 11.1 outnof the box
F6: nothing happens..
This one is used by ASUS for loading the system monitor (Same as Ctrl-ESC in KDE). I consider this free for arbitary use (Camera on/off?). I am trying to write a proper script for F5. But somehow the eepc behaves completely different wether the external Monitor is plugged in before booting, or after booting. Strange.
