I have had problems in the past with the "official" suse packages. Also not that I always use the full version not the semi-cutdown OSE version which lacks USB support. I think suse packages the OSE version. <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions" rel="nofollow">http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions</a> I always use the openSUSE RPMs provided on virtualbox.org.

In addition to this wireless doesn't seem to work for me, even with madwifi, used to work with 11.0. Well Skype seems to work for me fine on 11.1, but I have to agree DVD burning is broken.
