Hello all

I just installed Beta 2 using the DVD on my T60 Thinkpad 

The actual installation time from when I hit the OK (format and install) button 
till when
the kde4 desktop first showed up was 11 minutes 

Wow that's fast... !

My wifi connection works fine on my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card 
(using
iwl3945) once I boot and I select my named (and configured) WPA connection via
KNetworkerManager wifi buton on the kde panel This is good news...  (re : bug 
378000)

Despite the fact that my wifi is up and works OK konqueror in the Network 
Status section of
the "sysinfo:/ page  shows

Unkown network status

I put a photo at

wifi still does not come up automatically on boot (despite the fact that is 
configured to
do so). I gather that this (See message "Couldn't get connection
secrets: dbus-settings.c.108 - Connection's plugin did not return a secrets 
hash") is a
known problem which is caused by the way netmanager interacts with opensuse boot
configuration settings. 

Here is what I see on my machine with regards to that...
