The new driver works quite well with my Atheros PCMCIA card (Netgear WG511T), but I've also the warning messages from wpa_supplicant: Failed to set interface wlan0 mode Could not configure driver to use managed mode same as in comment #8. I've added a note about this issue to the WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN description: ## Type: string ## Default: '' # # Set this variable to the ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code # specifying the wireless regulatory domain to set. # When not-empty, it will be set in the wpa_supplicant config # or via 'iw reg set' command. # # Note: in wpa_supplicant mode, it is currently (openSUSE 11.2) # not supported by our default 'wext', but by the new 'nl80211' # wpa driver. You can set WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='nl80211' in the # per interface ifcfg config file. We will switch to use the # new driver as soon as we've tested it with more chipsets. # WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN='' and an extensive change log entry to sysconfig-0.72.4 that us actually submitted to openSUSE:Factory: - version 0.72.4 - Added note to WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN variable description in /etc/sysconfig/network/config, that it needs the new nl80211 wpa driver, that can be enabled using the WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER ifcfg variable on a per interface basis (bnc#537708). I think, this should catch this issue quite well for now. IMO it is not a good idea to hurry too much with switching to the new nl80211 driver and perhaps break several chipsets just because of the regulatory domain. When somebody disagrees, please reopen. I've reassigned to me. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
