At the time of the report I was using openSUSE 11.3 productive while 11.4 only for testing purposes for a short amount of time. I a have switched to 11.4 lately and realized that the the issue still appears even with the new firmware update (while probably less intense). So the firmware update fixes the issue on 11.3 but not on 11.4. I have made a bug report at Intel and they have posted a patch which helps but doesn't fix all issues. At least it makes WLAN useable on my machine again with 2.6.37. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2214 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nevertheless I also had this issue with openSUSE 11.3 and standard 802.11g. This was fixed by updating the firmware so please do so. I don't see what the problem is updating the firmware to a newer, compatible one which was released around eight months ago. Updating the firmware would fix the problem in 11.3 completely and on 11.4 at least the 2.4 GHz band should be fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Has the Intel developers said anything about that? I will look into updating our version of this firmware file in the kernel-firmware package... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The upgrade works but this sadly doesn't fix the 5 GHz problem with 2.6.37 anymore. Something relevant seems to have changed since 2.6.34. I am currently using 802.11g instead.

In 11.3 the problem was worse because even 802.11g had huge problems but on the other hand both issues could be circumvented with the new firmware most of the time. Since I haven't used 11.3 since quite some time I do some longer tests tomorrow. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have downloaded an iso and were running ping during the time and didn't lost one packet. There were also no firmware reload messages in dmesg. I am not sure what you mean with firmware problem. In 11.4 it doesn't fix the connection problem but I haven't seen the Microcode SW error. The last one doesn't have to mean anything because I haven't tested it as long. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
