[opensuse] Wireless is off since kernel update
After kernel update yesterday to 2.6.25.16-0.1-default my wireless connection has gone. 'No wave carrier for eth0' Which (simple) correction should I make to restore that?

Andre` You lost a kernel module in the kernel upgrade. The quick fix is to reinstall whatever network card driver package is required. (I can't guess since you didn't tell us which card you have). You can use lspci to find your network card chipset and then load the needed driver. In your case the install provides a needed (*.ko) module that is now missing. Find the kernel module and find your eth0 you will ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I work with openSUSE 11.0 and my wificard is Atheros AR242x 802.11 abg Wireless Express Adapter (rev 01) I tried to install net5211.inl with NDISGTK, but the reaction was 'No valid driver'. For the needed *.ko module I have no idea where to search. André -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Never, never use ndiswrapper, execpt ther is really no other working driver.
For the needed *.ko module I have no idea where to search.
Look for a package with a name starting with madwifi-kmp-default-ng (or any other kernel flavor you need instead of default). This is the same driver like the one needed for some EEE PCs. I expect this driver to work, but i am not completely sure. And not forget to blacklist the ath5k driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist., else you would have two drivers loaded for the same device.

Or maybe you can download compat-wireless from http://linuxwireless.org, i read in documentation that it support atheros also. Download the compat-wireless for kernel <=2.6.26 here http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-old.... As root, run make, make install, make unload, make load. medwinz. -- Stephen King - "French is the language that turns dirt into romance." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm sorry, that was webpin's abbreviated output from the search ("webpin madwifi"). When you see a path like that, "BS::" is short for openSuSE "Build Service" and means "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/". The actual path is (for example 10.3 i586): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... Change 10.3 to 11.0 and i586 to x86_64 as needed. Basically, just go to: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/ Browse down from there in either 10.3 or 11.0 and get the madwifi rpms and install them. Don't forget the package, the kmp, and devel versions (debug is optional). They will work. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
