However, it's evident that there are some things that MUST be improved in the Linux software for those of us who have to access hidden access points. First, KNetworkmanager is useless if the access point is hidden, so you have to use Yast to setup each time you switch to a different access point. Kwifimanager might work, except it doesn't support WAP and without WAP there's no AES. This is ignorant, at best. wifi isn't all that secure anyway, but at least support the best tools available!
I think NetworkManager running on GNOME works just fine with hidden access points already.
The only pieces of hardware that aren't seen by the system is the 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller from the Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
The sky2 driver should support this device already. If not, can you send me the output of 'lspci'?

Is this a USB based webcam? If it conforms to the USB webcam spec, it should be supported in FACTORY, and possibly 10.3 already, you just have to add the proper kmp to your system. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
