User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.10 Firefox/3.6 After login to KDE 4 desktop, Wireless connection is disabled in KNetworkManager, and the LED is off. wlan0 does not appear in 'ifconfig' command, except 'iwconfig', so 'ifconfig wlan0 up' will result: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 The "only" workaround (to get it worked) is by: 1. Switching the LED (Wireless Communication Button) on (it still off though) 2. Running: su -c 'service network restart' 3. Running: su -c 'modprobe -r iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945' After that the LED is on, and finally wireless connection appears in KnetworkManager again and it can connect to any Access Point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable all openSUSE 11.2 repositories, and add factory:repo:oss and factory:repo:non-oss repositories 2. 'zypper dup' to openSUSE 11.3 M3 (KDE 4.4) 3. Login to KDE 4 Actual Results: Wireless connection is disabled in KNetworkManager, and the LED is off. Expected Results: The LED is on, and wireless connection appears in KnetworkManager again and it can connect to any Access Point. It failed to get wlan0 up if the steps on the workaround is done randomly. It is on Acer Aspire 5620.

Relaunch knetworkmanager (because: "NetworkManager disable" after step-2) I also can tell that after it is able to connect to Access Point (AP), reboot the machine, boot to the same operating system (I have also openSUSE 11.3 M3 in other partition with KDE4 from KKFD-Factory repositories), and then the wlan0 is automatically up. But it returns to fail if the machine is halted (when then i boot it manually by pressing its power button to boot to the original openSUSE 11.3 M3 or openSUSE 11.3 M3 with KKFD-Factory repositories). -- 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.

It is typo. Sorry for the noise. The rfkill is in OBS Package rfkill (Project driver:wireless) . I have no problems with iwl3945 [1] in 11.3 [2] .
