[Bug 297619] New: Please include iwlwifi driver
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297619#c297616 Summary: Please include iwlwifi driver Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 7 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: funtasyspace@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Please include the iwlwifi driver from http://intellinuxwireless.org/ until openSUSE 10.3 goes final. The driver is for use with the following hardware, which is part of many recent Centrino notebooks: Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter I compiled the driver using openSUSE 10.3 without problems (no compile errors nor warnings) and it runs fine so far on my Lenovo ThinkPad T60p. I see no reason for not shipping this driver with openSUSE 10.3 Final. As I mentioned in bug #297616 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297616) it can't be configured using YaST, yet.

Confirmed. I just installed Beta1, the driver is now included via the package iwlwifi-kmp-default. Could you provide a link please? I cannot find it on any mirrors ...
Btw. I have a selfcompiled iwlwifi (iwlwifi-0.1.8.tgz iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.tgz) running at the moment and it is unreliable ... Will report bugs as soon as using official suse packages ... Why is the ipw3945 replaced? Couldn't both packages be on the media? -- 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.

As Bug 297123 points out iwlwifi is only an experimental driver ( according to Intel ), vital functionality is not provided by the new driver. There should be at least an option to choose between the proven ipw3945 and the experimental iwlwifi. -- 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.

First somebody reports a missing driver ( Bug 299208 ) then somebody else requests inclusion of another driver ( Bug 299208 ) as enhancement. Then the original problem gets marked as duplicate of the second one, which should have been marked INVALID right from the beginning, as the new driver was intended to be included anyway ( hence the dropping of the old driver, Bug 299208 ). All in all, the new driver so far is included _only_ in the beta1 KDE iso. Therefore quite a few people relying on the original driver get ignored. Yet "we are looking into this problem...", like other people look into their empty glasses at the local wine festivities. I'm sure you can do better.

For (re-)inclusion of the older driver please use a separate bug, I'm not the package maintainer of either driver variant and (sorry) can't help about that. -- 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.
