[Bug 625403] New: Wireless networking with ifup and WPA/WPA2 and most drivers that do not use mac80211 fail
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625403 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625403#c0 Summary: Wireless networking with ifup and WPA/WPA2 and most drivers that do not use mac80211 fail Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=378229) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=378229) Patch to fix ifup-wireless User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100626 SUSE/3.6.6-1.2 Firefox/3.6.6 When ifup is used to control a wireless connection using WPA/WPA2 and the driver does not use mac80211, the script /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless selects nl80211 as WPA_DRIVER. The connection fails because wpa_supplicant cannot communicate with the driver. A patch to fix the problem is in the attachment. It adds missing mainline drivers to the code that sets WPA_DRIVER and makes the default for unknown drivers be wext, not nl80211.

Vladimir, please take a look and let me know / send patch when there is still something.
I've added 2 more changes [2]. Only ath9k driver works with nl80211 [1] and Intel 4965 support was integrated into the iwlagn. I've also removed the ipw3945 duplicity.

Hello,
Two questions 1) Update released for: sysconfig, sysconfig-debuginfo, sysconfig-debugsource What are exact version numbers for corresponding RPMs?
sysconfig-0.73.7-2.1.1 (In reply to comment #28)
Latest update from OpenSUSE 11.3 repository: sysconfig-0.73.7-2.1.1 Build date: 23 August 2010
It seems updates released on 2010-09-07 are still not available in repos.
They are. 2010-09-07 is the release / availability date of the package. See also "rpm -q --changelog sysconfig" and comment 17. There is always some time between the submit request, commit, build date and the release, because all changes/updates are reviewed multiple times by our autobuild, maintenance and qa teams. The submit request is from 18.Aug, it has been reviewed and accepted [for Update:Test project] on 23.Aug. Then the packages are built&signed, go into review again and when all is fine, they're released [moved to the "Update" project] on 7.Sep. See also "osc rq show 45757" output and comments 19 .. 22 + 25 above.
2) I also have problem with slow connection for Intel wireless adapter Speed is about 1Bmps in Linux, while it is 54Mbit in Windows. OpenSUSE 11.3 has been updated (#zypper up) yesterday, 25.09.10 Should I file separate bug report, or I can submit details to this bug report?
Please file a separate bug report. -- 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.
