I cannot confirm this. For me, the 4965 worked from the beginning with openSUSE 10.3.
It definitely didn't work in sled 10sp1,
This is not surprising. SLES10 is based on which version of openSUSE? SLES10 was released in July 2006 and SP1 in June 2007. Even in 10.2, released in December 2006, there was no support for iwlwifi. I used this version and I had to install the windows driver via ndiswrapper. But 10.3, release in October 2007, supports iwlwifi, as stated in the release notes: http://www.suse.com/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/10.3/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html#14 However, there are some bugs in the iwlwifi drivers shipped with 10.3. Many should be fixed in the available update to version 1.2.0 last December.
and the only way to get it working was to wait for sp2, or compile a 2.6.24 kernel. So, if it works in 10.3 I guess that means the suse folks must have backported the 4965 driver to the suse 2.6.22 kernel.
IMHO you do not have to recompile the whole kernel: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_OpenSUSE_10.2_on_a_ThinkPad_R61 But I never tried the second, iwlwifi method myself, I just waited for 10.3.
Good to know.
