Listmates,
The network manager update completely broke my ability to connect through my wireless adapter on my laptop. The network manager will not even try to get an address no matter what I try (edit my access point config and choose "connect and save" --or-- redo my entire wireless with yast and choose "traditional ifup")
Needless to say it is painfully frustrating to have 2 significant "updates" (dbus and network manager) released yesterday and both are so broken as to be pitiful.
Who is responsible for testing the "updates" before they go out the door? And, more importantly, what can I do to get a wireless connection again?
Does ifup not work?
No not at all. Resetting the wireless card to "traditional ifup" and issuing ifup ath0 had no effect.
And, I must apologize, because I named the wrong package as the culprit. Sorry.
The problem is that someone totally *borked* dbus and ConsoleKit for x86_64 in the latest 'updates' in 11.0. The cure is to roll-back to the prior versions. for 11.0 x86_64, the packages required are:
14:56 alchemy:~/linux/openSuSE/fu> ls -1 inst/ ConsoleKit-0.2.10-14.2.x86_64.rpm ConsoleKit-32bit-0.2.10-14.2.x86_64.rpm ConsoleKit-x11-0.2.10-14.2.x86_64.rpm dbus-1-1.2.1-15.2.x86_64.rpm dbus-1-32bit-1.2.1-15.2.x86_64.rpm dbus-1-devel-1.2.1-15.2.x86_64.rpm dbus-1-x11-1.2.1-18.2.x86_64.rpm
Just collect the rpm into a single directory and then install with 'rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm'
Wireless connects immediately after reboot.
