You mentioned that you had updated the firmware. Would it be possible to check the firmware first [2] ? You can also check the /var/log/messages [3]. I have tested the Intel 4965 [4] adapter and was able to connect with the Netgear wg602 v4 with ifup/ifdown in openSUSE 11.2. To isolate the problem could you switch the NetworkManager off, configure your wlan in the Yast configuration and try to connect with ifup/ifdown ?

It seems we can blame NetworkManager for this.

I have added the NM maintainer in CC. Tambet, would it be possible to comment ? When the NM is on the wpa_supplicant reports [1]. Could you help to isolate the problem ?

or in English, the driver does not implement WEXT (Linux Wireless Extensions) correctly, which is currently _the_ standard wireless driver interface. It probably works through other tools because they use a different wireless programming interface (nl80211?).

When I switch NM off I observe no complains about the SIOCSIWAUTH support. See attachment. I start the wpa_supplicant [1] with the configuration [2] and set the IP manually, because Netgear provides no dhcp server. The iwconfig provides information [3]. Then I can connect to the network and transfer files [4]. There will be new unified wifi extension nl80211. But this is still "work in progress". The iwlagn and wext extensions changed since 2.6.27. The wpa_supplicant has been changed too. Consequently NM should accept these changes either. NM controls wpa_supplicant. The wpa_supplicant can control iwlagn standalone, but fails under the NM. The message "WEXT: Driver did not support SIOCSIWAUTH ..." does not mean that the driver is broken. This message means NM requires something which is not there anymore.

So this is not a bug at all.

Tambet, you should check the changes how wpa_supplicant is controlling the iwlagn and modify the NM to act accordingly.

For the N-th time, Vladimir, NM DOES NOT CONTROL wifi devices directly. It merely translates it's configuration to wpa_supplicant configuration and tells wpa_supplicant to use it. -- 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.
