Dell E-1505 And OpenSuse 12.1

Hi All. I am currently using the 11.2 and want to shift to open suse 12.1. I plan to write it on a dvd and then use it boot the new version,without any partitions. Do i need to download and store the driver for the wireless on a thumbdrive in advance, or do i download it directly from the net once i have the installed the 12.1 version? If so, can someone direct me to the page where i can download the needed drivers. Thanks.

With 12.1, many more drivers are built in than was true for 11.2.

If you post the output of ‘lspci -nn’, we can tell what your situation will be.
