Would it be possible to install the fixed sysconfig package from [1] on [2] and try again ?

The changes in the updated sysconfig are equivalent to setting WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='wext'. We will proceed with this settings then.

I have modified my /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1 and made a rcnetwork restart: snip eth1 Starting DHCP4+DHCP6 client. . . . . . . . eth1 IP address: 192.168.178.25/24 eth1 DHCP6 continues in background eth1 snip But I don't get connected. I suppose because I get the ioctl errors.

I can see in the log that eth1 received address 192.168.178.25 . Obviously your DHCP server provides DHCP v4 addresses only. Would it be possible to set "dhcp4 only" in the yast "Network Settings" for the eth1 interface ?

I close the ticket. After rebooting the computer it connected to internet without problems. Thanks. -- 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.

Bug 624182 seems to have same source. A review of related problems let'me thinking, there were some changes that broke nl80211 [at least for several drivers]. The nl80211 wpa driver worked fine on 11.2 .. <11.3-GM on my notebook with iwlagn (see e.g. bnc 585802#c2). On 11.3-GM it still works, but not reliably. I'm also getting the ioctl errors. Initially it works, but after some time (idle time / power management state change) it is unable to reassociate with similar results as in the bug reports. I'll retest it using the hardware that I have here next week and try out some downgrades... It would make less sense to set chipsets to the 'wext' drivers when there is an another bug that causes it. Vladimir, can you take a closer look on these problems too? -- 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 had the same problem after changing from SUSE 11.2 to SUSE 11.3: starting my wlan (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG) gives: starting wpa_supplicant nl80211 Driver does not support authentication or connect commands

JFYI, unfortunately WEP does not work with ipw2200 any longer [1]. As of the nl80211, the nl80211 works well with the wireless adapters from Intel supported by the iwlagn driver. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623592#c8 -- 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.
