--- Comment #74 from Ben Kevan
Just tried the attached kernel module and can confirm this does indeed fix NetworkManager issues with ipw3945 on my Inspiron 9400. I can now connect to my AP/router that doesn't broadcast an SSID - whereas before I had to use the traditional ifup method.
Thanks Ben! Novell should definitely be distributing your patch in the update repository.
Thank you for giving it a shot. Not only does it fix the issue it actually seems to be faster and the "Wireless Light" actually reports correctly (stays on when connected) which the iwl 1.1.0 does NOT do (ships with Novell). I can't remember if the iwl 1.2.22 did it. I wish Novell would apply some type of fix. Even if it isn't the one I supplied just anything to fix the darn thing other then pushing it off basicly saying that "iwl" is the way they are going. It's clear iwl is the way they are going (as is intel) but right now in openSUSE 10.3 ipw was default and they should fix it since it was shipped as default. As for the iwl driver, right now I am running on 1.1.0 driver since the kmp packages given by Helmut are actually only for the default kernel. I may just download the source and build for 2.6.22.13-0.3 Kernel. -- 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.
