Note : my PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network card works just fine on 10.3 # Details when I try to configure the card using YaST > Network Devices > Network Card it shows my ethernet card (which works fine) and PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection which cannot be configured .... This is what I happens when I try (during the installation process or post install) YaST > Network Devices > Network Card shows: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection => IP Address (not configured) I select PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network and then "Edit" Yast sayes these packages need to be installed: iwl3945-ucode No problem - I select the "Install" bouton I follow through the configuration process till the end and I get PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (not connected) BusID : 0000:03:00.0 Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present # lsmod output Module Size Used by microcode 30348 0 binfmt_misc 27784 1 snd_pcm_oss 63744 0 snd_mixer_oss 33152 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 72632 0 snd_seq_device 24972 1 snd_seq snd_hda_intel 315168 3 snd_pcm 100100 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel snd_timer 39684 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 27144 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 26244 1 snd_hda_intel snd 74676 14 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep lp 27756 0 parport_pc 54332 0 parport 52424 2 lp,parport_pc i915 39936 1 drm 96148 2 i915 ip6t_LOG 22912 8 nf_conntrack_ipv6 33004 3 ip6t_REJECT 21632 3 ipt_REJECT 20864 3 xt_tcpudp 19456 6 xt_pkttype 18176 3 ipt_LOG 22272 9 xt_limit 19072 17 xt_state 18816 6 iptable_mangle 19200 0 iptable_nat 23684 0 nf_nat 35484 1 iptable_nat ip6table_mangle 18944 0 nf_conntrack_ipv4 27524 5 iptable_nat nf_conntrack 79296 5 nf_conntrack_ipv6,xt_state,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4 ip6table_filter 19072 1 ip6_tables 31300 3 ip6t_LOG,ip6table_mangle,ip6table_filter af_packet 38276 6 st 53788 0 ide_disk 32640 0 ide_cd 54148 0 ide_core 137676 2 ide_disk,ide_cd iptable_filter 19328 1 ip_tables 30276 3 iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter x_tables 31492 11 ip6t_LOG,ip6t_REJECT,ipt_REJECT,xt_tcpudp,xt_pkttype,ipt_LOG,xt_limit,xt_state,iptable_nat,ip6_tables,ip_tables ipv6 275656 21 nf_conntrack_ipv6,ip6t_REJECT,ip6table_mangle cpufreq_conservative 24328 0 cpufreq_userspace 23044 0 cpufreq_powersave 18176 0 acpi_cpufreq 26764 2 speedstep_lib 21508 0 nls_iso8859_1 20480 1 nls_cp437 22144 1 vfat 28800 1 fat 67612 1 vfat loop 34948 0 dm_mod 76852 0 pcmcia 55540 0 rfcomm 57360 0 l2cap 40576 9 rfcomm yenta_socket 42380 1 nsc_ircc 34704 0 iTCO_wdt 28324 0 video 37136 0 output 20096 1 video rsrc_nonstatic 29568 1 yenta_socket iTCO_vendor_support 20100 1 iTCO_wdt thinkpad_acpi 66528 0 i2c_i801 25616 0 hwmon 19588 1 thinkpad_acpi intel_agp 40852 1 iwl3945 177120 0 firmware_class 26112 3 microcode,pcmcia,iwl3945 hci_usb 31772 2 battery 30596 0 irda 143240 1 nsc_ircc agpgart 49972 3 drm,intel_agp i2c_core 40064 1 i2c_i801 ac 22916 0 mac80211 175636 1 iwl3945 nvram 25224 1 thinkpad_acpi pcmcia_core 54804 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic bay 22784 0 sr_mod 32804 0 cdrom 49948 2 ide_cd,sr_mod dock 27280 1 bay e1000 134464 0 crc_ccitt 18432 1 irda button 25232 0 bluetooth 72660 7 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb soundcore 24132 1 snd rtc_cmos 24992 0 rtc_core 37000 1 rtc_cmos joydev 28096 0 cfg80211 30472 1 mac80211 rtc_lib 19456 1 rtc_core sg 51104 0 usbhid 58980 0 hid 50756 1 usbhid ff_memless 22024 1 usbhid ehci_hcd 51596 0 uhci_hcd 41360 0 sd_mod 44160 5 usbcore 158500 5 hci_usb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd edd 25924 0 ext3 153224 2 mbcache 25216 1 ext3 jbd 72224 1 ext3 fan 21508 0 ata_piix 34564 4 libata 169168 1 ata_piix scsi_mod 165856 5 st,sr_mod,sg,sd_mod,libata thermal 35228 0 processor 61736 4 acpi_cpufreq,thermal # other details 11.0-Alpha2 was installed using the 11.0-Alpha2 DVD which was made from the openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1_Alpha2-DVD-i386.delta.iso md5sum openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso c307b5f1570511897b787ca11ae092df openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso My test machine is a T60 with 3 Go RAM Ending note: openSUSE v11 is no good to me if my wireless doesn't work. With that being said I can see two options -1) Fix the "iwl3945" modules which are used in v11 -2) Include the same wireless modules ("iw3945" I believe (?), I am at the office) which worked OK in openSUSE 10.3 TIA James -- 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.
