Is the AP in a, b or g? Does anything change if you set the rate manually e.g. to 54m by: iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M ? -- 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.

Well, I reverted my installation to 11.0 (due to a couple of other problems) so I have no easy way to test it at the moment.
Please install 11.2 kernel (do not update to have both 11.0 and 11.2 ones) on top of 11.0, you should see the problem as well. This can be done by: rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.2/x86_64/kernel-desktop.rpm And also give a try to the latest kernel which is about to be shipped with 11.3: rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-desktop.rpm It might already have a fix for that (as it is fixed in compat-wireless).
However while still using 11.2 a self compiled compat-wireless (dated 11.12.2009) fixed this problem.
Good to know, thanks. -- 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.

Since I still had an disk image of my 11.2 installation I installed this first and updated it with "zypper up" resulting in the use of the official current kernel "2.6.31.12-0.2". Problem as described in comment #1 remains. After "rpm -ihv" and booting of "2.6.31.12-0.2.99.2.b7bc295": Problem remains as described.
And also give a try to the latest kernel which is about to be shipped with 11.3: rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-desktop.rpm
After "rpm -ihv" and booting of "2.6.34-rc2-0.0.4.5abbb8a-desktop": WLAN does not work at all. See attachments in next comments for logs. -- 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.

As expected, but could you try to set the rate? -- 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.

Using "2.6.31.12-0.2.99.2.b7bc295":
Setting the rate before brining up the connection with knetworkmanager I get a kernel crash (blinking LEDs). I should have been more exact. The kernel crash happens when

(In reply to comment #9) trying to bring up the connection with knetworkmanager AFTER setting the rate with iwconfig.
Could you grab the trace via a net/serial console?

Never done before, I will see if I can find some docs how this works. I am somewhat busy at the moment and this will take some time.

2.6.31.12-0.3 from the above link seems to work fine, about 10MByte/s throughput. -- 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.

For netconsole it's just a matter of: modprobe netconsole netconsole=@source-ip/,60000@dst-ip/dst-mac on the box which crashes and running netcat -ulp 60000 on dst-ip machine which shall be on the same subnet. See modinfo netconsole for further info on netconsole parameter. You don't need to configure the interface, just connect the machine via ethernet and modprobe the netconsole module.

Good, so I'll commit that patch and will appear in 11.2 kernel after some time. -- 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.
