It's my understanding, from yesterday's meeting, that some things will
continue to be offered at the "online update" stage. This atheros wlan
driver may well be one of them, just like the ipw2100 drivers for me.

How is this with the non-gpl kernel modules? Novell/SUSE will no longer
provide them. So what is a user supposed to do, when he needs e.g.
atheros wlan driver? Is there a howto for making a xxx-kmp.rpm? I still
don't understand, what these xxx-kmp.rpms are good for.
