We should be shipping an update soon. I will be making the next Banshee release
within the week to support the new iPods.

In the mean time you can subscribe to my Banshee nightly builds repository.
Packages here are built from subversion on a nightly basis and follow the
release path for the new iPod support.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/aaronbockover/openSUSE_10.3/

If you install those packages, please provide some feedback. You may need to
restart HAL after installing podsleuth:

sudo /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart

After installing the packages, plug in your iPod and run "podsleuth" from the
command line and please paste any output here. If it returned with no errors,
you should be okay to run Banshee.
