Hi there, I have stated the kernel in the title but that does not mean I imply is kernel's fault. on my system using a broadcom wireless device (which worked pretty well in the past) with the current factory (I got it via a zypper dup from a clean 12.2 install) stopped working... the module loads... the connection seems to be up the only thing is I see no networks. digging into I see grep eth1 /var/log/warn Sep 21 08:54:24 abbaton udevd[285]: seq 1823 '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:16.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eth1' killed Sep 21 08:54:25 abbaton NetworkManager[618]: <error> [1348214065.75959] [nm- device-wifi.c:2673] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (eth1): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 0) plus the usual complains about not being able to scan...
