[opensuse-factory] 13.2 networking problems during installation

17 Aug 2014

      Tried openSUSE-Factory-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20140816-Media.iso on a
laptop and tried to set up wireless connection during installation.
This has never worked for me before but I live in hope. The problem
this time is that after I've set up all the parameters and I try to
complete the configuration I get told that three modules need to be
installed:
iw
ifplugd
wpa_supplicant

I say "OK" but I then get a message to say that they cannot be found
and the installation has to be aborted. I wondered whether it was just
that they weren't on the disk so I tried connecting via ethernet. This
doesn't work either because I have to set that up and am told a single
module is needed (forget which one) which, of course, cannot be found
so back to aborting setup again.

Is this problem anything to do with switch from "ifup" to "wicked"
and the above modules are not really needed? The reason I think that is
the case is that those modules aren't asked for when I configure the
network devices after installation is completed.
