Hello,

I have recently installed openSUSE 10.2 on my Acer Aspire 3020 with a 
GigaByte WLAN card (Cardbus 802.11g, model GN-WMKG). By installation I 
followed instructions found on: http://doube.net/3023wlmi.html

What I have done so far:
1) Installed firmware for bcm43xxx (with YaST + executing 'installfw')
2) Installed rt2500 kernel modules (my WLAN card uses rt2500 chip)
3) Configured with Yast the software-controlled (!) WLAN by configuring 
both the WLAN-controller (AMBIT Microsystem Aspire 3020WLMi using 
firmware) and the WLAN card (using rt200).
4) Configured KDE to use KNetworkMangager and KWiFi

Up to this point, everything seems to work. When I insert the WLAN card, 
the power led turns on and following lines emerge in the log:

After this, the computer starts to slow down and finally freezes. 
Ejecting the WLAN card brings the computer back to life.

When I started 'top' before inserting the WLAN card I noticed that after 
having inserted the card the process 'event/0' was eating up the whole 
CPU time and driving the CPU load to 100%. 

I really do not know how to make my WLAN work and would appreciate any 
hints! Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Kimmo
