Might just as well be a wpa_supplicant bug. -- 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.

Daniel, nevertheless switching to the newer iwl3945-driver should improve the connection issues ipw3945 has. You only have to install the iwlwifi-kmp-* and iwl3945-ucode packages and uninstall the ipw3945-kmp-*.

Just tried to find the newer drivers, but Yast wouldn't let me add http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/drivers:/wlan/openSUSE_10.3/ I have installed iwl3945_ucode 2.14.1.5-13 iwlwifi-kmp-default 1.2.0_2.6.22.17_0.1-0.1 If update is necessary, can you point me to the correct URL please? thanks Daniel -- 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.

However I tried Yast-Online-Update but it did not download anything and the list said that available packages are identical to the installed ones. Problem still occurs from time to time, reboot mostly solves... but that's a bit a "windowish" way... ;-) -- 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 also have a comparison with the GNOME network manager and have to say that GNOME network manager is much more reliable at the moment. -- 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.

My symptoms were that sometimes the thing would sometimes connect and mostly it wouldn't. Perfectly able to see the network, but just kept timing out and asking for the key again, usually 28% of the config process. A series of reboots would usually get the thing to go eventually. Incidently swapping from wireless to wired and back *never* worked. This is on an HP nc6000 and I've tried both the Atheros and Intel WiFi modules (swapped to eliminate HW/drivers) with the same results. Last night I ran "iwconfig" and for my network in the list given it came up with name, <blah>, Channel 12, <blah>, ERROR: Some channel information flags are invalid. Aha! Swapping the network to channel 7 gives: name, <blah>, Channel 7, Frequency xxx.xx (Channel 7), <blah>. No errors seen there and it works fine now. Multiple reboots, different logins, multiple logins, wifi to wired and back - all 100% reliable. A bit of playing seems to indicate that it has a few issues with (at least - haven't tried 'em all)channels 12 and 13. -- 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.

Knetworkmanager is unreliable and this is not just a driver issue, imho. Please also note bug #406635, the same problem. Maybe you could merge the two, but the issue not (yet) resolved. -- 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.

If so, is there a way that I can enable knetworkmanager on my 10.3 as if it was on 11? -- 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.
