On an FSC Amilo Si1520 running openSuSE 10.3.1 (GNOME) with Intel ipw3945 WLAN
NetworkManager fails to connect after update from factory.

dmesg has:

[   33.244982] wlan0 renamed to wlan0_rename

while in fact it is renamed to wlan0_rename_re

which might be the cause.

Starting wpa_supplicant manually and connecting via wpa_gui connects, alas the
connection can not be used as NetworkManager seems to prohibit binding.

Not sure why NetworkManager is compulsory now, I had removed it in 10.3 and
started wpa_supplicant during boot via a script. This seems no longer possible,
as yast2 network insists on installing NetworkManager when configuring the
network Card.

cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) Alpha0
VERSION = 10.3.1

rpm -qa | grep network
yast2-network-2.16.7-2

rpm -qa | grep Network
NetworkManager-0.6.5-36
NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.5-36
