I installed SuSE 11 RC1 and everything except wireless works.
I have a ThinkPad T60 laptop with 11abg wireless card which works with
my default distro mepis 7.01 and wireless works "right out of the
box".
I have a new T61 with the Intel 4965 wireless card. I also had trouble with
the wireless card and eventually traced it to the ipw driver.
First, you need to have the iwl4965-ucode driver installed. Then install the
ipw driver from the RC1 install DVD. You need the one marked
ipw-firmware-8-81.noarch.rpm. Then go ahead and use Yast to configure your
wireless card. Now, reboot, and your wireless card should be working.
Do not let updates change the ipw driver or your wireless will stop working -
mine did, anyway. The factory non-oss repository will install the
ipw-firmware-8-82.noarch.rpm if you let it. AND break your wireless.
