http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539491 Summary: When booting up, my wireless transfer rate defaults to 1Mb/s and I need manually run 'iwconfig wlan0 rate 6M' every boot. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: judobrian+novell@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-1.1 Firefox/3.5.2 I am a complete noob, but was asked by a user in the #suse chatroom to enter a bug after receiving some help, so I apologize if this is not filled in correctly. I have a wireless 802.11G network card, and after a fresh install of openSUSE I realized my wireless speeds were incredibly slow compared to my ethernet (wired) speeds. Doing some googling I came across this support page (http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/wireless/404349-fast-ethernet-bu...) and found that if I ran the following from a command line it fixed my issue -> iwconfig wlan0 rate 6M If I do not run that command, my wireless speed is defaulted to 1Mb/s which is slow slow slow. I was told if I enter this bug I will either win a brand new car, or receiving a winning lottery ticket. I'll be happy with either. ;) Thanks for the help! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot computer 2. Connect to wireless network 3. -- 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.

I have a wireless 802.11G network card,
Which card? Could you append lspci -nnvvxxx output?
and after a fresh install of openSUSE
Could you update to the latest kernel? What's your current version now?
if I ran the following from a command line it fixed my issue -> iwconfig wlan0 rate 6M
Hmm, maybe auto rate scaling doesn't work properly.

I upgraded my l was unable to get my nvidia drivers to work again so I
There is a repo with nvidia drivers compiled against suse kernel, do you know about that? Did you install nv drivers that way?
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. How did you install the nv drivers?
