I assume you meant "ifconfig wlan1 up" :)

Yes :-) It seems the problem is not at the kernel side. Could you try to restart NetworkManager (rcnetwork restart) with the adapter plugged in and attach the NetworkManager log? -- 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.

What is in /var/log/messages during the restart of NetworkManager?

It says: "It appears to be detected and the module is loaded but the interface goes down when it's handed over to NetworkManager." but that's what NetworkManager does with all the devices on startup to make sure it knows the exact state of the system. There's also a couple of attached snippets of /var/log/NetworkManager but none of these contain any errors from wireless device activation. NetworkManager doesn't drive the wireless devices directly, everything goes through wpa_supplicant which requires device drivers to implement wext (wireless extensions) interface. If your card's driver doesn't do that, or does it incorrectly, you won't be able to use NetworkManager. -- 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.

If I understand the issue correctly, the scan results are not displayed in NetworkManager applet, even though the driver scans fine when wireless tools (iwlist) are used.

The first one is the rt2500usb driver incorrectly used for your card. I've fixed that one for openSUSE 11.0 (for openSUSE 10.3 please use the workaround you mentioned in comment #3). The second issue is NetworkManager not showing networks. That's a duplicate of bug 349623, please add yourself to CC in that bug if you want to follow it. -- 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.
