Okay, rmmod iwlcore gave the following message: ERROR: Module iwlcore does not exist in /proc/modules

OK, just ignore that line. Just do: rmmod iwl3945 rmmod mac80211 rmmod cfg80211 modprobe cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU modprobe iwl3945 Afterwards try again if you are able to connect.

BUT, after restarting the network a couple of times and switching the WLan-switch off and on und waiting, I can see my AP the first time in NetworkManager's list!

Did you reload the modules as described before in that case? -- 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.

I follow the steps to remove the wifi modules and to load then again ieee80211 instead of mac80211. Now NetworkManager list well my AP with WPA and there is no problem to connect to it. Is there anyway to do it via modprobe.conf to make it automatic? -- 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.

The problem is somewhat complicated because using "ieee80211_regdom=EU" as default is not feasible as it would allow users (for example in the US) to transmit on prohibited channels. Hence I leave this bug open until the issue is discussed. -- 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.

Karl, I'd like to add a section to the release notes explaining why channel 12-14 are not usable by default. Maybe we could even link to the openSUSE wiki (see previous comment) which includes an explanation on how to enable these channels. -- 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.
