Does that mean that one of the best features SuSE up to 10.0 had on the desktop (ok, MY opinion) will be gone in 10.1, with no real replacement?

Which basically means that users of one of the best wlan cards (atheros) will have no wlan anymore. Whats the other modules in kernel-*-nongpl for? name suggests its for fritz! dsl stuff (which is quite prominent here in .de since you get them for free with your breakfast cereal eehh dsl account). >From what i've learned from those meeting minutes, most of the changes >represent a step BACKWARDS for the user.
