The first registered an interface eth1, the second two interfaces wlan0 and wmaster0. As the device is already known to the system, the interface gets renamed to eth1 in that case. Shouldn't be a problem. You can also remove the related entries of /etc/udev/rules.d/77-network.rules to switch to the new naming. -- 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.

It still features the "Device File: wlan0" and "Device Files: wlan0, wmaster0" oddity, but maybe that's intended. But even with that hwinfo package, YaST does not offer to configure the iwl3945 device. And I noticed another bug while trying to adding the card manually: When clicking on "Add" in the main dialog, I can select "wireless" as device type, but the settings seems to be ignored. In the next dialog, the device type is still "ethernet", and the wireless dialog does not appear either. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297616#c26 --- Comment #26 from Jörg Hermsdorf 2007-08-20 08:30:13 MST --- I don't know what this STABLE tree is you're talking about, but I just upgrated to the latest FACTORY packages. I also use the driver from the iwlwifi-kmp-default package now instead of compiling it own my own. YaST2-Network detects the device and allows to configure it, but as soon as I finish the configuration and return to the overview dialog, the iwl3945 device is shown as 'not configured' again. If I hit the Configure-Button again, all the changes I did in the previous step are lost. Ergo, YaST2 won't write the config at all. If I create /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 manually and call YaST2-Network afterwards, it gets even stranger. Now YaST2 shows my WLAN device two times. One is shown as 'not configured' but with a MAC address. The other one is shown as 'configured' but as 'not connected' and has the device name 'wlan-wlan0' I can make configuration changes to that device and it seems that they are written to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 correctly. -- 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.
