- Disabled CONFIG_RT2800PCI (bnc#606243) - These devices are handled by the rt2860 staging driver.
Are you sure the whole driver should be disabled? It doesn't work yet for RT2860 based hardware but it supports RT2760, RT2790, RT2880, RT2890, and RT3052 chipsets as well although I don't know what their status is. Maybe it would be better to remove just the PCI IDs of RT2860-based devices? -- 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.

Also, the comment from the RT2800PCI Kconfig option: This adds support for rt2800/rt3000/rt3500 wireless chipset family. Supported chips: RT2760, RT2790, RT2860, RT2880, RT2890 & RT3052 This driver is non-functional at the moment and is intended for developers. -- 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.

M7 uses RT2800PCI and this is inteneded for developers? Reason I ask is because M7 on an eeepc 901 only works for a few seconds. The default gateway is pingable when it's associated (or any other address, like 194.109.6.66), but only for approx 3 to 4 ping packets. After this it dies. This problem happens with my own network @home as well as a completely open joikuspot / unencrypted network. Do I need to raise a new bug or keep this reopened? Unless I'm dong something wrong, it's a show stopper I guess. -- 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.

The rt2860sta staging driver should be used instead and has been set that way since May 20 in the kernel repo. Grab the latest factory kernel and see if it fixes it for you. That said, please don't adjust the priority of bugs. It's not what priority it is for you - it's what priority it is for the developers and maintainers. openSUSE bugs are *never* CritSit. -- 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.

helly, anyone alive here?
wireless works for say 3 pings and only a network reload gets it to work shortly.
we need to sort this out before it gets distributed....
The rt2800pci driver has been disabled in recent kernels. Your problem has nothing to do with this bug, please open a separate bug and provide some useful information. -- 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 don't think it's something we want. Just give me some information what to provide. I don't see a lot in the logs. The thing I see is that whe wireless is brought up, it is alive for a few seconds and then dies. -- 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.

You have not even stated whether rt2800pci or rt2860sta attaches to your wireless card. Update your kernel to a recent version and if it still fails open a new bug. This one is about removing the rt2800pci driver and that has been fixed a while ago. -- 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.

(the 2860 used to work with 11.2) I have added a new bug for M7. Hopefully it will professionally be picked up.
