Currently I use Ubuntu (mostly because of the lack of wifi in suse and fedora) and I'm just curious, I think I need mad wifi (I have an aetheros card) but I'm not sure. How would I go about installing the package? Is it avable onthe non os cd? Or do I need to dl if (via a direct connection)?

Should I save that to like a thumb drive or is it on the extra cd? The problem is suse isn't allowing me to use wifi, so I wouldn't be able to download thefile...

Thanks

personally, install 10.2, when 10.3 comes out, it will still need some things ironing out, best to leave 10.3 for a while longer, still life in 10.2 anyway
