Patrick, the iwl4965 and iwl3945 drivers worked fine in 10.3. They now in 11.0 are sporadic at best!! NO version should ever be released without 100% solid critical drivers AND software to connect with them, like Knetworkmanager. This is likely to give 11.0 a big black eye by reviewers.......along with a messed up update for nVidia drivers.

I have a T61, with the same wireless card and same problems. I eventually found out there was a problem with the iwl4965 drivers and kernels later than 2.6.22. I got RC1 to work by adding the ipw driver and if-up in the global configuration for network cards in Yast. No such luck, however, in 11.0 GR. To get it working I had to switch back to knetwork manager and install the compat-wireless drivers. You can find them from this link: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download You may need to reboot after installation. -- bob@rsmits.ca * I have no trouble with my enemies.
