Exact, that's why I started this thread.

Correct, a new release will fix the problem.
What I tried to say in my post's are:
such an "issue" might happen in the future more often, because
The release cycles of hardware are getting shorter, but the releases of 
distro's are not.
Every distro has such problem.
In the case of openSuSE the release cycles had become one of the 
longest, while such a problem might grow in the userfield.

I wanted to start a discussion how the community, which openSuSE is just 
a part of, can keep up with the hardware industry.
My idea was that not the whole distro has shorter releases, but only the 
"Kernel and Driver's for booting".
So the features and scope of a release is the same in a SUBrelease, but 
the supported newer hardware is growing.

What do you think?
I'm intrested
Lars
