Regressing the system to 11.2 base install (thus removing the latest updates) solves the problem and allows wireless to work normally again. Others have reported the same problem here: http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/wireless/432686-wireless-stopped... but I couldn't find a bug report. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Allow openSUSE to install latest updates 2. 3. Actual Results: Wireless card disabled, invisible to iwconfig, NetworkManager, etc. Expected Results: Updated system, wireless still working -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
