are:
- You do not need to install its driver from TAR package anymore, zypper will take over it via Open Build Service (OBS), which is easier to maintain and to get update. See on the openSUSE-Kernel list to get to know on how to have the packages installed (or you might to see the tutorial in Bahasa Indonesia here) and look on the additional note below.
- The driver (rtl8192se) will be in Linux 3.0 kernel tree.
- openSUSE 12.1 will have Linux 3.0 kernel on its final release (right now it still in Milestone 1), so user will have the RTL8191SEvA wireless device working automatically right after openSUSE 12.1 installed.
- BNC #608060 has been resolved since yesterday..
