Why can I not simply enter the manufacturer section on my own? Why can I not attach the successfully loaded driver to the appropriate physical device? -- 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.

Unfortunately, this device is not listed as supported. But the list is not complete. Would it be possible to take a look if the driver is not loaded by chance "hwinfo --wlan" ? If not, this seems like wontfix for me. -- 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 doubt that the provided firmwares can match a 'Texas Instruments' card as the USR is. Perhaps the source sourceforge are not up to date either because the kernel module as found in /usr/src/linux seems to be much newer. -- 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.

That worked quite well at first; however later on it turned out to be completely unusable.

This works quite fine although only linuxant can make use of the 54Mbit/s mode. However this does not work:

kwifimanager does also show an almost unreachable access point while linuxant showed 100% connection quality at the same distance.
