root:~> wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Configuration of the wireless extension "-D" is needed, but I do not know which extension is needed for your card. Would it be possible to post the output of the "hwinfo --wlan" ?

root:~> iwlist eth1 scanning eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

The interface shall brought up to scan for the up. Issue command "ifconfig eth1 up" before scanning. -- 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 is a known issue since 11.2 [1] and it's very unlikely that anybody is going to care about it. Consider to upgrade the HW [2]. I'm sorry that I can't give you a better answer. I leave it open to keen record of this device.
