Does your Wifi works flawlessly? Does it survive a suspend? I bought an 1005HA that came pre-installed with Ubuntu (09.10 with backported ath9k module). Up to now, I was too lazy to put openSUSE (or Smeegol?) on it. It irks me that I have regular connection problems with the Atheros Wifi. Well, but not enough to do a re-install... ;-) Other notebooks have no such problems to connect to my AP that's just 3 meters (9 ft) away. So it is clearly a hardware/firmware or software (Ubuntu/kernel) problem that's specific to my 1005HA. So, if you tell me, that this works for you without any problems with openSUSE 11.3 (maybe w/ updated kernel from HEAD?), this might be the trigger to invest the work and give it a try. Or maybe I should make and try out a Live USB from 11.4 RC1 that's about to come out RSN?

Hi I've got the 1000HE (ath9k - AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002a]), just brought it out of suspend from last evening, wireless connected fine 11.4M6. It's also fine with Smeegol, openSUSE 11.3 and SLED 11 SP1. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.27-0.2-default up 9 days 23:00, 2 users, load average: 0.14, 0.07, 0.07 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.36 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, always. I've had zero issues with suspend to RAM/Disk using openSUSE 11.3. Currently using LXDE as my DE, and I have set it up to suspend to RAM when I close the lid... open it and it's reconnected to my WiFi in about 2 seconds. This is consistently the same all the time... suspending several times per day
I bought an 1005HA that came pre-installed with Ubuntu (09.10 with
I've also been running Ubuntu 10.10 on the 1005HA... also no issues at all. It really is an install and use situation with this netbook.. no tweaking no fiddling.. all features "just work" including WiFi, webcam, suspend, all Fn key combinations... CPU scales up and down on demand.
So, if you tell me, that this works for you without any problems with openSUSE 11.3 (maybe w/ updated kernel from HEAD?), this might be the trigger to invest the work and give it a try.
I'm not using Kernel:HEAD on the current install of 11.3.. just a default install from the current LXDE live CD, and a standard update from the default repositories.
Or maybe I should make and try out a Live USB from 11.4 RC1 that's about to come out RSN?
These also work fine (except of course any bugs from the RC). C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
