I am using the aetheros chipsset, i.e., using the madwifi. Under the latest update, the new kernel, 2.26.18 removes the madwifi rpm from the system. Does anyone know if they are going to update the madwifi repository or will I have to compile the source?

Did you see David Rankin's post "Re: [opensuse] BUG: kernel 2.6.22.16-0.1-default Breaks Atheros Wireless [work around]"

At any rate, When the option to install the software was given, in my case, it mentioned that it was going to uninstall madwifi so I decided to wait. If you can't wait, it sounds like David's method should work.

Yeah this happened to me as well.... reinstalling madwifi threatens to delete the kernel and stuff like that... so I think I won't do that ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Is there any reason why my IpTables now do not work as a result of the upgrade to 2.6.22.16?

I've even tried adding them again but still nothing!

Any suggestions?

Could you describe a bit better what exactly does not work?

The kernel update wanted to remove my nvidia driver, so I too am waiting a bit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It also wanted to remove my ATI driver, my ndiswrapper kernel module, and my webcam driver. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
