https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297671 Summary: several conflicting kernel modules for wlan device get loaded Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 7 Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hartmut.meyer@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: hartmut.meyer@novell.com Found By: Other This is on a Thinkpad R32 (2658 BQG). Built-in wireless device is a prism2 based mini PCI card. Will attach hwinfo later. According to hwinfo, three different kernel modules can be chosen for this card: hostap_pci prism2_pci orinoco_pci Unfortunately all three kernel modules will be loaded on boot. With the result that wlan isn't working: r32:~ # lsmod | grep _pci hostap_pci 56208 0 hostap 106372 1 hostap_pci orinoco_pci 10880 0 orinoco 41748 1 orinoco_pci hermes 11136 2 orinoco_pci,orinoco prism2_pci 68608 0 p80211 32780 1 prism2_pci I have to manually unload these modules and pick the only one that is working on this paticular mini PCI card at this moment (orinoco_pci) r32:~ # rmmod hostap_pci orinoco_pci orinoco prism2_pci r32:~ # modprobe orinoco_pci r32:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. irda0 no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"Prism I" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: None Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3 Retry short limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=0/92 Signal level=-68 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 It isn't the network script that causes the laoding of all these modules (rcnetwork restart after I manually unloaded the unwanted modules does not bring them back) - and YaST2 has configured the wireless device to use the orinoco_pci driver (prism2_pci was preselected but manually overridden). Even then, networkmanager does not work and I have to set essid and call ifup-dhcp for the device manually. But I guess that is another bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
