I helped someone set one of these cards up on IRC this week, just a matter of installing http://packman.links2linux.de/package/bcm43xx-firmware . The firmware can't be distributed by suse for legal reasons. Presumably even on kubuntu one needs to know to install the appropriate firmware package, or does it suggest it automatically?
I think they do. Similar to codecs stuff. Yeah, we know, it's a legal problem they don't seem to care about. The problem (for suse) is that (new) users just want things to work (read: enter, enter, enter, enter. Don't read, don't think).
I have friends that tell me they won't use linux if they have to enter a console to enter a command or an editor to configure some thing via config file... it's the windows mentality.

in. It's that simple. Is this possible with SuSE? If so, what package would that be, because I can't seem to find the kde-desktop package in YaST.
You can install the kde4_basis pattern with yast or zypper, or "KDE 4.0 Basis" using the buildservice kde repository. I don't see how this
Don't tell him here, the poster of this problem probably does not read this list.

You all know as well as i do, that all 'new' things are difficult. They are different, so you'll have to find out how it's done... SuSE > (K)Ubunta, or vice versa. On suse all things can be done, and i mean all. You just have to know how. The 'Deal', has been realy realy bad for SuSe, we all still notice the effects on that. Let 'SuSE' don't waiste time about 'other ways', but find, keep and follow her own.. As i see it, much devellopment is in the speeding and rewriting of all, to fit on almost any hardware. It is amazing what is achieved here already. Compared with previous, the improvements are awsome. SuSe needs to get trough this phase first. Let us just enjoy and work to get the impossible done... If we are confident, this will radiate, and atract people by that. Those who stay, will stay, those who go, will go anyway. Just let it be... and keep yourself, SuSE... -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
