wouldn't a independant autoyast-repository make sense for quicker fixing and updating?!
A OS 13.1 rollout of clients and servers with these bugs in autoyast is hard to do, when you always have to be aware if the tool that should help and ease a roolout needs "help" too. ;-)
The fix for this needs to be in installation media, so having the fixed package in a repository where it gets installed from would not help to avoid this bug.
As I already wrote in my answer to Joschi, there is a driver update disk attached to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846011 which avoids the problem.
you just need to use e.g.
netsetup=dhcp autoyast=http://10.120.4.28/autoinst.xml dud=http://10.120.4.28/bnc_846011_131.dud
as kernel boot commandline (of course with URLs adapted ;-) and place the DUD where you get the autoyast control file from. Since I assume, most of you have means to avoid typing the parameters manually (e.g. PXE boot, modified isolinux.cfg on install medium, whatever) it ist just a one-time change in setup that can be used for all 13.1 based installations.
