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.
Go to this website and install all the necessary packages using zypper or the
graphic interface, whatever:
http://www.susegeek.com/opensuse-110/intel-3945-abg-wireless-problem-in-open...
Go here:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/
Download this, or whatever is the most recent version:
compat-wireless-2009-01-06.tar.bz2 2009-Jan-06 06:11:59 1.4M
application/octet-stream
Follow the instructions from susegeek, only make sure you unload the module
otherwise it will give you an error when you try to load the new one. (xxx is
the recent version number). Make sure you do this as root.
Unzip & Untar
OPENSUSE:~ # tar -xjf compat-wireless-xxx.tar.bz2
Change Directory & Compile
OPENSUSE:~ # cd compat-wireless-xxx
OPENSUSE:~/compat-wireless-2008-07-01 # make && make install
modprobe -r iwlagn
OPENSUSE:~/compat-wireless-2008-07-01 # make load
When you reboot, or even right after you load the new module, it should work
perfectly. I have been using my laptop for almost two weeks without any
problems.
Finally, i'd like to further castigate Novell for being so amazingly
incompetent with this critical bug.
