Soon, SUSE SHOULD have a NEW kernel for update! There are some nice things in it, like performance improvements. But, for laptop users, for the first time, and FINALLY, there is some Broadcom wi-fi support.

Any progress on this that you are aware of Fred?
Cheers.

The latest that I know about is 2.6.16.20-2 I have been running it for about a week without problems. It seems to be a bit faster. I tried it on my laptop as well but I use a lan connection there so I can't let you know if the wi-fi support works also. The kernel in its various forms in available at:

Happy tinkering Ralph Ellis
How'd you manage to install it? I get this error, when using "Open with > Install software". And, of course, the :new and improved" Yast wants to install the original version, from the CD. I'm frunning 64 bit SUSE 10.1.

The easiest way is to use Yast with Online Update. Set up the factory repository that I listed above as an Installation Source under Yast. After the source has been recognized, in Online Update do a search for "kernel". Select both the default and source kernels and Yast should pick up the rest of the required files automatically. Keep in mind that if you use ATI or nVidia proprietary drivers that you will have to uninstall and reinstall them. Zen is a bit of a pig for this process unfortunately. It can work if you have already listed the factory repository as an Installation Source and you only select the default and source kernels to be installed.
