After I started wifi, any network activity (zypper ref, firefox,...) causes IMMEDIATE hardlock (blankscreen, no SysRQ reboot working) -----> I have to assume that issue is NOT kernel related, something wrong is in openSUSE 11.3 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Another idea I found out. I'm not able to connect to my AP/wifi if networking method is set to "Traditional" (meaning ifup, no Networkmanager). I cant establish connection, logs fills with message dhcp running in background. If I switch to networking method with NetworkManager, then I can establish connection to my AP but hardlock follows on network activity :( I also added output from hwinfo --wlan: 26: PCI 702.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1814_701 Unique ID: y9sn.+8__gPQENtE Parent ID: 6NW+.TviiQOu+8J0 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:07:02.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:07:02.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "RaLink RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R Cardbus" Vendor: pci 0x1814 "RaLink" Device: pci 0x0701 "RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R Cardbus" SubVendor: pci 0x1814 "RaLink" SubDevice: pci 0x2760 Driver: "rt2860" Driver Modules: "rt2860sta" Device File: wlan0 Features: WLAN Memory Range: 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff (rw,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 17 (no events) HW Address: 00:b0:8c:00:17:c0 Link detected: yes WLAN channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 WLAN frequencies: 2.412 2.417 2.422 2.427 2.432 2.437 2.442 2.447 2.452 2.457 2.462 WLAN encryption modes: WEP40 WEP104 TKIP CCMP WLAN authentication modes: open sharedkey wpa-psk wpa-eap Module Alias: "pci:v00001814d00000701sv00001814sd00002760bc02sc80i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: rt2860sta is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe rt2860sta" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #17 (PCI bridge) i think this is my wifi card: http://www.alfacomp.cz/php/product.php?eid=1051K5006000000QVG&Search=tenda&SearchType=1 -- 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.

There are GPL source codes available for different wlan adapters provided by the Ralink http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 . I can not explain why the Ralink developers do not cooperate with the kernel.org to get their drivers into the kernel. Their sources are not compatible with the wlan subsystem and cannot be incorporated into the kernel.org as they are now. I'm afraid that to get working driver you'll have to download the appropriate tarbal (both 2760 and 2870 are listed) and compile the driver on your own. The procedure is straightforward. If you have any problem ask here. To install the SDK run as root "# zypper in -t pattern devel_kernel". -- 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.

Could you compile the driver ?

I just wanna highlight what I wrote above. I USE this rt2860sta driver for more than HALF year in openSUSE 11.2 and without ANY hardlock or ANY problems. I also replaced OS 11.3 kernel from LiveCD with my own 100% working kernel from OS 11.2 and system hardlocked!! I must assume that this issue isn't issue of kernel driver, rather than some component/s in OS11.3, maybe NetworkManager, supplicant or .... What do u think? -- 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.

As suggested in [1] could you try and append a line with WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='wext' to the ifcfg file (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0) and restart ?

SUMMARY: I downloaded latest Ralink driver(ver 2.4; driver in vanilla kernel 2.6.34.1 is ver 2.1 !!!) from ralink webpage and compiled it under oS 11.2, then I copied whole kernel to oS 11.3 installation. Then I rebooted to oS 11.3 and wifi worked without HARDLOCK :)

I STRONGLY suggest u compile latest ralink driver, put it in main os 11.3 repository and publish this issue on official oS 11.3 webpages with guide how to install this driver via repository and WIRED connection. It would be very sad, if people say that oS 11.3 is bad because it freezes on wifi networking....

Sure. Thank you for testing. I leave this open until the KMP is ready. -- 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 leave this open until the KMP is ready.

I've moved this bug to 11.4. The source from Ralink is GPL. I leave this open until the KMP is ready. -- 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.

Would it be possible to try the 12.1 [1] ? It's RC1 now with kernel 3.x . Release is expected on 16th of November 2011 .
