I have an acer 5920g with wireless card PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. It uses
the module ipw3945. After upgradind to openSuSE 11.0, it stopped
working. I ported to openSuSE 11.0 the drivers from openSuSE 10.3 and
the card stared working again. I made some rpms, that are available
from my website
http://teodori.org/repository/utilities/opensuse11.0/current/64bit.html.
They are my system specific so I don't know if they can help you.

Just installed 11 on my IBM TP. Great! I'll be a major SuSE distro. It'll be a major Linux distro...
The system identifies (correctly) the PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adaptor (built in) as eth1.
I can configure it using the grey circular ikon in my taskbar (is that Knetworkmanager?), I can configure it using YaST if I so desire. I configure it using ordinary WEP encryption, not very safe but fine for starters.
No connect. Never. Ever. The little wheel turns around - and then gives up.
I then searched YaST for "networkmanager" and re-installed networkmanager and Knetworkmanager. Same thing, no luck.
It bothers and puzzles me that if I swap in Ubuntu 7/8 (have disks with both), the wireless works right away...
I don't want to run Ubuntu, I'm a SuSE man....but still. When 10.2 and 10.3 was on the machine, they worked out of the box too. What happened?
I've attached (if one can do so, otherwise I'll re-post with more text...) some info from the Networkmanager log. I hope this info is helpfull.
As always...thanks a million!
