Thanks Vladimir! I am not completely sure what exactly to test, so let me double check:
I found a repository called http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_Factory and under noarch/ there a package called iwl4965-ucode-4.44.1.18-8.59.noarch.rpm dating back to Septembe
Thank you. Yes, this is the right repo. Unfortunately it is still not finished with the build. In driver:wireless/iwl4965-ucode I see "scheduled". The ready iwl4965-ucode package should be of version 228.61.2.24 . -- 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.

Why the different license? Why is only one of the two firmware files in the kernel-firmware package? And why the overlap? (As you can see in earlier comments I tried various firmware packages, the system is up-to-date with zypper dup now, though.) -- 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.

Interestingly, I could have sworn that earlier versions of 2.6.31 (until two weeks ago, say) had worked.
I have upgraded the iwl4965-ucode package to the latest version 228.61.2.24 in the hardware project [1]. If it solves your problem I will submit it to the Factory.

I tested again with 2.6.31-10-default and wireless seems to work again.
The firmware has been updated both in the kernel-firmware and iwl*-ucode. Gerald, if you can confirm it is working now I will close the bug. -- 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.
