Hello all

I installed 11.0-Alpha2 on my T60 Thinkpad and my PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
card doesn't
work (when I try to set it up during the installation or post install) because
the
kernel device is not present

# Details
when I try to configure the card using YaST > Network Devices > Network Card it
shows
my ethernet card (which works fine) and PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection
which
cannot be configured ....

This is what I happens when I try (during the installation process or post
install)

YaST > Network Devices > Network Card shows:
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection => IP Address (not configured)

I select PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network and then "Edit"

Yast sayes these packages need to be installed:
iwl3945-ucode

No problem - I select the "Install" bouton

I follow through the configuration process till the end and I get
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (not connected)
BusID : 0000:03:00.0

Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present
