It needs "wireless" configuration file to tell wpa_supplicant with WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE=2 and works only with "ifup" / kinternet managers, not with NetworkManager. - My Linksys WPS54GS (ssb / b43) works only with NetworkManager, not with ifup / kinternet managers. NetworkManager does not automatically connect, because it tries eth0 (ipw2100) first, and fails. It seems to process my wlan0 (b32) connection, but also fails: I have to relaunch manually on wlan0 to get connected. I got also many messages reported by kernel, like : Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:34 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: __ratelimit: 123 callbacks suppressed Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error Jan 4 09:48:41 linux-hpkv kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error But the wireless connection with b43 is more stable using videolan vlc (no connectivity loss after fiew seconds). Streaming Stops after 10/20 minutes, and tries to restart but vlc is out of sync. Sometimes streaming stutters. I have to manually reconnect to the network after 20 minutes. -- 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.
