The ucode should probably contain a match, the same way like some kmp packages are selected based on currently found hardware. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Of course; it's possible this is some 'purists' thing - I installed from an Alpha 1(?) DVD - is it the case that we avoid installing proprietary(?) microcode in these cases & thus break usability (or even testing of default patterns ;-). ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(This was *** not *** the case using Beta1) However despite the fact that my wifi is up and works OK konqueror in the Network Status section of the "sysinfo:/ page shows Unkown network status I put a photo at http://pagesperso-orange.fr/j.pearson/T60.B2.png wifi still does not come up automatically on boot (despite the fact that is configured to do so). I gather that this (See message "Couldn't get connection secrets: dbus-settings.c.108 - Connection's plugin did not return a secrets hash") is a known problem which is caused by the way netmanager interacts with opensuse boot configuration settings. Here is what I see on my machine with regards to that... # netmanager log post boot May 3 14:26:25 linux NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon...
