I connect with the traditional method with ifup. ifup reports the interface to be up, however, I'm not connected to the AP. I'm using an ipw2200 card with WPA-PSK. (as eth1) I believe this is a problem with wpa_supplicant (see Bug 972 of wpa_supplicant, http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=972). I tried Ingo's suggestion of starting wpa_supplicant directly as root. wpa_supplicant scans the available networks and it doesn't connect because of "SSID mismatch". Strangely enough, with openSUSE 10.1, it worked fine. The problem only occured after upgrading to openSUSE 10.2. To get a connection: after "ifup eth1", do "iwconfig eth1 essid myessid" Workaround: in /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless, after line 639 (eval wpa_supplicant -i$INTERFACE -c$WPA_SUPP_CONF -D$WPA_DRIVER $SUPPARGS) insert following line: iwconfig $INTERFACE essid $WIRELESS_ESSID -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
