NB - I allowed network access and remote repositories, so the kernel loaded for the installed system was newer & didn't show the problem.
Sadly this is not an option for me. I could only access the network via WLAN, and while YAST seems to properly load the drivers for the intel chipset I cannot use it because that part of the network configuration is missing in the installer.
You're right, WLAN configuration is not part of the Network Setup in the First Stage installation. It should have been just a simple static/dhcp configuration. See bug #293609 for more details. Anyway, you might want to setup the WLAN manually :) Before selecting the installation mode (plus [x] Online Repositories), switch to the console 2 and set it up. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Ndiswrapper See "Manual Interface Configuration" Bye Lukas
