This laptop has an Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor, and Windows 7 drives the wifi flawlessly, claiming it is a Centrino-N 2200 device (if memory serves, I'll send a correction if this is wrong). Neither Opensuse 12.1 nor the upgraded kernel worked, they gave the messages: [code] linux-6lhe:~ # cat /var/log/messages | grep iwlagn Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067173] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067191] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067229] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_len = 0x00002000 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067232] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_base = ffffc900057a8000 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067235] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: HW Revision ID = 0xC4 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067348] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067398] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Detected 2000 Series 2x2 BGN, REV=0x104 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.067479] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.086537] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: device EEPROM VER=0x81c, CALIB=0x6 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.086541] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Device SKU: 0X150 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.086544] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Valid Tx ant: 0X3, Valid Rx ant: 0X3 Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.086567] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 0 802.11a channels Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.086679] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Windows 7, watch the wifi work flawlessly 2.Boot Linux, observe that the OS disabling wifi 3.Try KDE network manager and see that it cannot find my wireless ethernet adapter. Actual Results: No special setup is required. Expected Results: Have linux find the wifi like it does for every other intel wifi I've used in the last 4-6 years. -- 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.
