Installed 10.2 Alpha4 on a old laptop with the following problems:

1. USB mouse went haywire during install, used touchpad instead.

2. During package selection the screen stayed at 800x600 resolution even
though I selected 1024x768 for the install res.

3. The Linksys wireless card is now recognised even though I needed to
download a firware package from Ubuntu as one was not available from
openSUSE that I could find.

I do have the following error though:

As you can see the radio is turned on and I can scan for and see my
wireless network using kwifimanager but the signal strength (0) reported
is too poor for a connection. A scan using KWiFiManager shows the
correct SSID, Mode:Managed (correct), Quality: 100, WEP: on (correct).

Not sure how I should report this as it worked correctly under 10.1
using ndiswrapper. The radio strength on the Linksys wrt54g router is
turned up to a higher value as well.

Not sure where to report the network problem. Also the onboard eth
controller is working fine.
