Henne, my concern is not so much for myself.....I can continue to use
11.0 and the same for all my clients who have those Intel chipsets, but
for the black eye that openSUSE and Novell WILL get from newbies once
11.1 releases. NONE of you nor us need that kind of bad PR. This isn't a
small issue, ONLY because there are so many laptops with those chips in
use, and STILL being sold in new laptops. The same it true of wifi, even
with an Intel 3945 chipset, a solid connection in 11.0 that NEVER
dropped, NOW does.....frequently. And, there have been a number of other
reported problems. I'll test RC2 to see if that is any better.

Understand, we all want 11.1 to succeed, but we're NOT fond of answers
that are snide and basically tell us, "Oh well...it's not our problem,
so you'll have to live with it." No, we don't.

Fred
