a brand new SuSE user buys a brand new computer and gets a brand new internet connection from a service provider. They are of course shifty folks, and sell him on the idea of connecting to their brand new city-wide wireless network (and of course, this will not add to the traffic on their already-saturated cable network, so it is a benefit to them).
Oops, our brand new SuSE user has bought 10.1, and has no wifi support on the DVD.. he cannot get on the internet to download the wifi module(s) he needs, and what is even worse, the 10.1 installer probably will not even tell him he needs to do so (even if it does happen to recognize his nifty new 802.11n prototype card the ISP is hawking which it probably won't).
A brand new user right out there on the bleeding edge? - that's asking for it. Selber schuld. /Per Jessen, Zürich
