Ah, it looks like M:F is being rebuilt at the moment: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=Moblin%3AFactory
Ooops, still rebuilding... While here, one more questions: is it possible to build the ISO file using openSUSE factory instead of 11.1? I'm asking, because my "Linux is fully supported" Dell Inspiron Mini 10v has no network at all with 11.1, even on-board Ethernet is broken, it is found, but it always reports "link down", and no wifi driver. With factory at least Ethernet works fine and there is even a wifi driver, just not working with this particular machine ( http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531784 ).
Mobin uses the latest kernel version (2.6.30), so your hardware might be working with that.
Have you tried a newer kernel version to see if that helps?
Oh wait, that's the broadcom wireless. Ick, sorry, but Broadcom has a closed source kernel driver for it, nothing we can do about that in any of our builds.
Could this driver be added to the non-oss repo? A netbook without wifi is a pretty dumb thing... I tried to compile it myself from "sources" available at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , but I could not get it compiled with my limited C knowledge...

No, sorry, it can not, as we are not allowed to redistribute it. Go take it up with Broadcom, they are the only ones who can do something about this. sorry, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
