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 http://pagesperso-orange.fr/j.pearson/T60.B2.png 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... # netmanager log post boot May 3 14:26:25 linux NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon...
