I have asked that this patch be applied to the openSUSE source and a special test kernel be generated for our OP. I will let you know what develops. I do not have the necessary hardware to do the test in house. Should the patch to wireless-drivers be annotated with a Stable reference so that it is added to 4.12 and 4.13? Thanks, Larry
