 The optional Wireless WAN (WWAN) adapter [[Qualcomm Gobi 2000]] does not work out of the box. The application that uploads the firmware to the WWAN device is not included. There is a OBS home repository that contains the gobi_loader package [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jeff_mahoney/openSUSE_11.4/] mentioned in the ThinkWiki article linked above.
-Furthermore, there are some openSUSE or KDE bugs that might prevent WWAN modems from working, e.g., [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678086] [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668838] [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561706] <strike>[https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264083]</strike>. This seems to happen, if the SIM PIN is set. Apparently this is due to timing problems, since sometimes it just works or auto-connecting helps. However, it works for me.

 === TrackPoint ===
 The [[TrackPoint]] can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows, by holding down the middle button and moving the TrackPoint. Horizontal scrolling is now enabled by default. The Opera browser moves forward and backward in its history instead, see [[How to configure the TrackPoint#Configure Opera for using trackpoint horizontal scrolling|here]] to fix it or disable horizontal scrolling completely by:
-  xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 -1 -1 4 5

 {{HINT|Hitting the above mentioned bugs, you can enter the SIM PIN, e.g. 1234, manually via the {{cmd|AT+CPIN<nowiki>=</nowiki>1234|}} command and, then, restart the ModemManager by {{cmdroot|killall modem-manager}}. However, since ModemManager seems to send the correct SIM PIN, trying to connect manually and, then, restarting the ModemManager might work, too.}}
