In my opinion it should be on the cds to be considered part of the distro. 
Ndiswrapper *and* kmp's (at least ndiswrapper-kmp-default) are crucial to 
many people. 

Will everything that's in factory now be on 10.1-final inst-sources?

I believe this to be true, but I can't get my Linksys (bcm4306 chipset, using 
ndiswrapper) to connect using (k)networkmanager - if I choose traditional 
method via ifup in yast nic module it connects fine (For testing purposes I'm 
using no encryption and dhcp - should be simple enough).

Whether this problem is networkmanager<>ndiswrapper, networkmanager or 
knetworkmanager I don't have the slightest idea - but something isn't working 
right. I suspect some of the other people in this thread have had similar 
problems.
