While we always had rt2860sta to get rt2860 based pci wifi cards running, this staging driver seems to have been removed from kernel 3.0. That means, in the future everyone with such a wifi card will rely on rt2800pci being correctly configured.

At that point, both rt2800pci and rt2800usb can and should be enabled. The OP should blacklist rt2860sta and implement compat-wireless. As the c-w package is too old, that will require a build from souurce. -- 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.

Once rt2800pci, which is in the mainline kernel, was improved to the point of usability, removal of the staging driver was the best course. One thing that delayed the changeover was some difficulty in getting the firmware accepted. Sometimes maintainers are like mules and require similar persuasion. :) I am glad to hear that the c-w package from the repo works for you. -- 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.

Which looks like it's no longer applicable, so users have something installable to test on 11.4 or higher? I guess it's probably latish for 12.1 M3 already. -- 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.

Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained. Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue. We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users. We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet! -- 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.
