how do you install network drivers off the internet, when your network is not working because you need to install the network drivers first?
To download the ISOs, you need to have a working connection. So you download all those RPMs, put that in a directory and use makeSUSEdvd with the -a option to add those RPMs while burning the DVD.
I am not sure about the legal implications, but one could even offer an ISO of the repository and use Yast's driver-CD module. On the other hand one could just copy the repository to a USB-stick and use it as a source. The only problem is the firmware. I think it is not allowed to have it in the repository, so there is a need to extract it from the manufacturer's driver-CD. Sven
