The fix for this needs to be in installation media, so having the fixed
package in a repository where it gets installed from would not help to
avoid this bug.

As I already wrote in my answer to Joschi, there is a driver update disk
attached to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846011 which
avoids the problem.

you just need to use e.g. 

netsetup=dhcp autoyast=http://10.120.4.28/autoinst.xml dud=http://10.120.4.28/bnc_846011_131.dud

as kernel boot commandline (of course with URLs adapted ;-) and place the 
DUD where you get the autoyast control file from. Since I assume, most of 
you have means to avoid typing the parameters manually (e.g. PXE boot, 
modified isolinux.cfg on install medium, whatever) it ist just a one-time 
change in setup that can be used for all 13.1 based installations.
