Seeing as Novell is completely inept and useless, you all might try a solution I found. It requires you to compile and install new drivers but it is relatively easy to do.
There's no need for name calling. It's not productive and only draws attention away from the problem. OpenSUSE is a community distribution. Users, like yourself, are welcome to contribute to bug reports in ways beyond simply providing requested information to our development staff. The fact that compat-wireless works and the in-kernel driver does not is a good data point. It isolates the iwlwifi driver as the problem. Here's another interesting fact: The openSUSE 11.1 kernel does not contain any patches against iwlwifi other than the -stable series and a patch to handle a different Oops. This means that the problem is in the upstream kernel and we've inherited it. Novell has finite resources. As much as we'd like to, we can't fully investigate every bug report that we receive. Sometimes we just can't reproduce the bug ourselves, despite having a similar configuration. Please file a bug upstream at bugzilla.kernel.org, and provide the bug number here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
