Comment # 2 on bug 1055826 from Mike Walker

I have some additional findings that may or may not help. 

In an effort to resolve the issue I restored a snapshot which should have been
right after the installation. The wireless was working correctly after
installation. 

After restoring the snapshot I was having the same issue with the wireless even
though the kernel version was now rolled back so there may be more too this.

Doing a fresh install from the Aug 18th snapshot and not doing a zypper dup,
the wireless works fine. So there is something about the update after the
install that is messing things up, or at least there was. Its been a few days
since I tried this.

To get around the issue for now I have installed LEAP 42.3. I am happy to live
in LEAP for now. But of course this doesn't get us to the root case. This at
least tells us that the hardware itself is working since it works perfectly in
LEAP. 

I do have the non working installation, after the restored snapshot on a drive
still. It would take some time though get the drive installed into the system
and booted into that non working environment. 

I can also try running through this whole scenario again in a VM to see if I
can reproduce the issue there. Let me know if this would help.
