Tried to use Suse 10.2 on a Thinkpad with an intel wireless device. Just
would not pick it up. As I needed it in a hurry, I just stuck in a kubuntu
7.04 live CD and it picked it up. So, I just erased the Suse and installed
kubuntu. Still use Suse at home.

I installed 10.2 on this TPad R60e with built-in Intel ABG wireless NIC
and it worked first time - somewhat to my amazement.

I had to get rid of knetworkmanager, though - it couldn't handle fixed
IP addresses and, when I changed to using DHCP, it couldn't handle a
cloaked AP (no ESSID broadcast).

Built-in bluetooth worked first time too - double amazement!
