http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537708 User mt@novell.com added comment http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537708#c5 --- Comment #5 from Marius Tomaschewski <mt@novell.com> 2009-09-09 14:34:47 MDT --- OK. The nl80211 driver and crda were working fine for me in my test today, see attached output in comment 2. The question is, if it is safe to switch from 'wext' to the new 'nl80211'. (The user can switch back using WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='wext' as workaround). At the moment we have the following driver mapping (see also bug 477833 and bug 481380) in the /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless: prism54) WPA_DRIVER=prism54 PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT=no ;; rt61|rt73) WPA_DRIVER=ralink ;; ipw2200|ipw2100|ipw3945|hostap_*) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; ndiswrapper|*.sys) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; rt2500usb|rt2500pci) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; rt61pci|rt73usb|rt2400pci) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; iwlagn|iwl3945|iwl4965) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; zd1211rw) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; ath5k|ath9k|ath_pci) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; b43|b43legacy|ssb) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; p54pci|p54usb) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; at76*) WPA_DRIVER=wext ;; *) WPA_DRIVER=unsupported PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT=no ;; ... if [ "$WPA_DRIVER" = "unsupported" ]; then message "`printf " %-9s warning: WPA configured but may be unsupported" $INTERFAC message "`printf " %-9s warning: by this device" $INTERFACE`" info_mesg "using WPA driver 'wext' for interface $INTERFACE" WPA_DRIVER=wext fi start_wpa_supplicant -- 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.
