Suse OSS 10

Upgraded to OSS 10 this weekend. Nice, not too many changes from 9.3, but I did have a couple issues...

I followed this good article to get DVD, Windows Media, and mp3s to work:

Wireless

Since I have an Atheros AR5215 802.11abg integrated PCI wireless card the kernel module (ath_pci) is not included by default. (See http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless)) I installed the 'kernel-default-nongpl' package through YaST, that solved the issue. Another option would have been to compile the madwifi module myself.
