So far, the only issue I hit was the dead network post install, but that's easily sorted.
Actually dead network is almost the worst thing which could happen if your machine is a remote one. In my case 9/10 machines are remote ones.
It seemed to sort itself out after I tinkered a bit.... This is what happened on my system with a 12.3 install last night: - Immediately after install, I had no WiFi networking (well supported Atheros chipset WiFi, so I know it's not a driver issue) - Open YaST > Networking - Switched from ifup to NetworkManager - YaST complained that Networking was not started - Opened NetworkManager, and defined my WiFi config - It attempted to connect and kind of did. Very unstable connection that constantly dropped - I rebooted - On restart, I got a popup asking for my WiFi password (even though I entered and saved it in the earlier config step) - WiFi started working normally. I'm not sure what exact combination of steps I did that got it working, but... those steps do need to be done locally. If you're over a remote connection with WiFi, you're not going to have a lot of fun. I didn't seem to have any issues with wired network - this worked OK from install.
