Hi guys.
For couple years (ok months) I was using openSUSE. Before 13.2 everything was great, everything works and I was very happy about this distro. After switching to arch, I decide to comeback to openSUSE, because I feel this is the best distro for me. But the first problem was in the installer. I am always using net install, because I don’t like when there’s a lot rubbish in OS. First, was problem to detect my wifi, the installer can’t connect properly to my network, ofcourse this is not the problem for me, because I do everything manualy (wpa_suppplicant etc). Ater I connect to my network, the speed of that was horrible… The question is why? On others distros even in Windows, the speed was 100x much better than in openSUSE. After the installation (I am choosing always minimal install, and install from pattern, like KDE etc) when I choose polish keyboard layout EVERYTHING gone wrong. When I press backspace I saw space, I can’t delete enything within backspace, only DELl. Even TAB doesn’t work. When I press tab and hit enter I’ve got information that ‘\x205\x205 command not found’. What the hell ? I switch to english layout, and works fine, I choose even germany or other layouts than english, non of them works properly. Something with the inputrc ? I was searching and searching and I give up. I post one thread couple months ago, and ok, this is my fault, I did knot put bug, on bugs.opensuse.org. I will do now, but currently I am sitting on arch, so I will try to provide, the best help I can do. So openSUSE, what happend?

That nobodoy tried to do what you did and reported on bugzilla. This is
a community, /you/ have to contribute by testing and reporting.
Me, I always install in English, despite it not being my language…

It is a known bug, that the NET installer doesn’t properly configure WiFi. I think that’s bug 899895.
I don’t know about your other issues. I installed with the DVD installer, and WiFi can be properly configured there so you can use it to access the online repos during install. And I only use English (US).

I have openSUSE 13.2 32bit on a laptop and on an eleven year old PC; I have 13.2 64bit on another laptop. All have worked fine.

Really? I’ve never been able to get WiFi to configure and function
with the DVD and had to wait until post-installation to get it to work.
I’d assumed it was something under development because, over the years,
it began with having many configuration options missing but gradually
improved but still insufficient to get it working. Then came 13.2 and
Wicked and so WiFi wouldn’t even work post-installation without
resorting to NetworkManager.
A month or so ago, Wicked started working so perhaps openSUSE-42 might
finally allow WiFi to be successfully configured during installation.

I am not saying about the language of instalation, but something else. I as well install openSUSE in english

One thread is here [13.2] bash problen - Install/Boot/Login - openSUSE Forums Today I am gonna submit bug on bugzilla.
It is a known bug, that the NET installer doesn’t properly configure WiFi. I think that’s bug 899895.

Yes this is this bug, and still is on NET install. I need to use polish keyboard because, we have some characters to use 
As I recall, there were problems prior to 13.2 release (maybe the beta). But it worked for the released version (64-bit at least).
More recently, I installed Tumbleweed (the 20150608 snapshot) on a spare partition on my laptop. I configured WiFi during the install, and successfully told it to use the main online repo during the install. This was with the DVD installer.
I have not recently tried the NET installer for Tumbleweed. I assume WiFi is still broken, because I have not seen any movement on the relevant bug report.
I installed 13.2 on my Macbook Pro today and I had to install the driver for wifi card post install. The Mac has a Broadcom card. Maybe there are some drivers for wirelsess cards on the DVD, but not all?
Regards
Some broadcom cards are supported by the kernel driver. But newer broadcom cards are not. People generally install the broadcom-wl driver from the Packman repo.
I had that problem with my laptop, when it was new. But now the kernel driver supports it.
I have had the same problem with openSUSE trying to install onto a Lenovo B590, it has the Broadcom wireless also, but Ubuntu never has this problem; To be fair minded, I don’t think OpenBSD works at all with Broadcom.
