updating 11.1 shall not break a funcional wlan setup...
Right.
more info: I'm always using traditional network setup, no Network Manager (also, not an option;)
Yes. Unfortunately. Try wpa_gui from the wpa_supplicant_gui rpm.
installed (it's wpa_supplicant-gui for the cut'n'paste records). it does not show any adapter nor network. in the starting xterm there is this msg every second: PING failed - trying to reconnect
more tracing shows: get_iface_type() in scripts/functions returns "eth" for my wlan0 device because /sys/class/net/wlan0/wireless does not exist:
I am afraid there must be some misconfiguration in your system. I have upgraded
which type of "misconfiguration" do you expect being able to influence the contents of /sys/class/net/wlan0/ ? I guess that's directly kernel-only stuff, or am I wrong here ?! what else in y "configuration shall I check ?
the 11.1 with Intel 4965 to 2.6.27.42 [1] either and I can see no problems on my system [2]. The ifup/ifdown works as expected [3]. I have to close as WORKSFORME, but reopen if you feel that I can help you anyway.

32 or 64 bit ?
