Thank you. Yes, this is the right repo. Unfortunately it is still not finished with the build. In driver:wireless/iwl4965-ucode I see "scheduled".

Interestingly, I could have sworn that earlier versions of 2.6.31 (until two weeks ago, say) had worked.
I have upgraded the iwl4965-ucode package to the latest version 228.61.2.24 in the hardware project [1]. If it solves your problem I will submit it to the Factory.

The supplemets are atm problematic, for 11.2, we could manually add the pci ids of the iwl packages so that there's no regression, in the future this should be auto-generated somehow (what is basically needed is a mapping of firmware files to drivers). -- 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.
