Vladimir,
I'd say we need a "iw reg set" call in case the driver is not one that supports it / one of the above... What do you say?
Marius, Part of the project [1] is also a wpa_supplicant with -Dnl80211. This unified extension will solve this problem. I can see the wpa_supplicant to use the new extension in Factory [2], but to test the crda I need more time. Adding Jan Matejek to the CC who is the maintainer of the python-m2crypto. We need this package to build crda package.

The question is, if it is safe to switch from 'wext' to the new 'nl80211'.
I have tested the nl80211 with Factory and Intel 5100. For iwlagn it works. I would suggest that you switch the script to nl80211 at least for the Intel cards (iwl*) and we will fix it on the fly if something goes wrong and people report problems. I put [1] into your script, but "./ifup-wireless wlan0" did not start wpa_supplicant. I was not able to run it out of the box so please tell me how do you intend to use the ifup-wireless . I have tested the nl82011 by setting the AP via iwconfig, started wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd from command-line.

Just call "yast2 network" and configure the wireless interface there. The ifup-wireless script is a script called via "ifup","ifdown" and "ifstatus" and "rcnetwork" in traditional mode (NETWORKMANAGER=no).
I have tested the nl82011 by setting the AP via iwconfig, started wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd from command-line.

The new driver works quite well with my Atheros PCMCIA card (Netgear WG511T), but I've also the warning messages from wpa_supplicant: Failed to set interface wlan0 mode Could not configure driver to use managed mode same as in comment #8. I've added a note about this issue to the WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN description: ## Type: string ## Default: '' # # Set this variable to the ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code # specifying the wireless regulatory domain to set. # When not-empty, it will be set in the wpa_supplicant config # or via 'iw reg set' command. # # Note: in wpa_supplicant mode, it is currently (openSUSE 11.2) # not supported by our default 'wext', but by the new 'nl80211' # wpa driver. You can set WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='nl80211' in the # per interface ifcfg config file. We will switch to use the # new driver as soon as we've tested it with more chipsets. # WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN='' and an extensive change log entry to sysconfig-0.72.4 that us actually submitted to openSUSE:Factory: - version 0.72.4 - Added note to WIRELESS_REGULATORY_DOMAIN variable description in /etc/sysconfig/network/config, that it needs the new nl80211 wpa driver, that can be enabled using the WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER ifcfg variable on a per interface basis (bnc#537708). I think, this should catch this issue quite well for now. IMO it is not a good idea to hurry too much with switching to the new nl80211 driver and perhaps break several chipsets just because of the regulatory domain. When somebody disagrees, please reopen.
