[TriLUG] New notebook woes

[Gnu Man]

I doubt that the name of the device is the cause of your problems.

I would play with Yast for a while, and look at your /etc/modules.conf
file.

As far as the wireless goes, try to find out what chipset it's using and
look for a kernel module (driver) to load.

Good luck
