Since I've been hearing many issues with the laptop functionality under 10.1, I thought I'd give it a test this day. I'd been using SUSE on my laptop since I bought it back in July last year. It has been running 9.3, 10.0 and 10.1. Many of you may remember my issues with 10.1 updates, which were solved with SMART. I've been running happy for the past few weeks. This morning before work, I fired up my Dell 600m laptop. It booted in about 40 seconds (about half the time it took to boot 9.3) and immedietly connected to my WPA encrypted WiFi network. I'd never been able to get this to work prior to 10.1. Prior to going to work, I suspended to disk. At work, I turned on the laptop after plugging in the ethernet cable. The laptop resumed in about 20 seconds and immedately the corporate network was found and announced in the taskbar. I worked on the laptop on and off during the day, without shutting it down. At the end of the day, I suspended again and went home. Upon arriving at home, I turned the laptop on again. 20 seconds later, I was up and running and the WiFi was correctly connected to my network. (There are at least three other networks in my vicinity, two of which are unencrypted. 10.0 and previous would usually connect to one of these and not my network.) In my opinion, three of the most important items to me as a laptop owner - speed, WiFi funcionality and suspend - are working as I'd expect. Of course, I'd expect the rest of the system to "just work" and it does as well. Thanks, SUSE folks. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
