Is the ipw2100 driver broken? Does anyone have this problem with other WLAN hardware?
I'm using the iwlagn driver on my laptop. While I normally do not have trouble with it, during my last vacation I could not connect to the WLAN of the hotel I was staying in. I could see the network, but not connect to it, until I also entered the MAC address of the access point in my config (using traditional ifup).
If desperate, you might try that, too.

Thanks for your suggestion, but doing iwconfig eth1 ap <MAC address> has no effect (interface remains unassociated). To me it looks like the ipw2100 driver is not fully ported to the current kernel network infrastructure and thus just broken. The driver is still able to scan access points but nothing more. iwlist eth1 scan |grep Quality gives me Quality:79 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:16 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:35 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:33 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:61 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:20 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:39 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:16 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:31 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:93 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:18 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:16 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:18 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Quality:23 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
