Google showed me buglist entries and forum thread of these two distributions. There I found some hints for the workaround described above. -- 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 can only suggest to find some workarounds. Disabling NetworkManager helped, as reported before. To solve the problem with booting try to set "Activate device: manually" in the Yast->Network_Settings->Network_Card_Setup.

See this post by Kay Sievers: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg83422.html And the udev version 173 from openSUSE 12.1 seems to be old enough, to work. -- 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.

Please have a look at comment #32 in this forum thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/... There "lwfinger" explains the technical details of the problems between the new udev versions and the ipw2200 driver. It seems that I will have to live with the workaround until someone fixes the driver. But it would be nice, to get Networkmanager working with this workaround. -- 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.

Update: test with openSUSE 12.2 RC2

WLAN works now with this driver and since RC2 even the KDE network management app is able to deal with this hardware and driver. The only two (minor) things, that are not good:

- the network related hardware detection during installation is still very slow (probably timeouts) - the tray icon does not show the signal strength

The signal strength is fixed in bnc#755541. -- 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.
