Updated to openSUSE 12.3 a few days ago, so far the only casualty is my ethernet port. There appears to be a nasty regression in the e1000e driver that causes the link to drop every few minutes, causing IRC and other connections to time out. Googling around shows this driver has a number of problems and work-arounds for hardware bugs already built in, but the problem I have appears to be a new one.

So far I tried 

- Interrupt mode forced to PCI

- ASPM off

- Eeprom fix (but not applicable to my hardware)

- using the latest stable driver from sourceforge.net

Upgraded to openSUSE 12.3 and KDE 4.10. Tried the experimental "color correction" in Kwin, wonder what it does in detail? First impression is ugly flat colors in Firefox, but pretty accurate results in Chrome. Seems like Kwin interferes with the color management built into Firefox. Digikam also behaves weird when the display color management is enabled.
