I am using factory and have a wireless problem. I am running a MacBook and with OS X I have no problem connecting to a network. It is not hidden or anything. But with openSUSE the network is just not there (neither iwlist nor nm-tool) other networks are there. I have an atheros card and tried both the madwifi and the ath5k driver. But the network is not seen by openSUSE, the link quality in OS X is close to perfect. I can connect to other networks without a problem. Any idea what to try? I do not have acess to administrate the AP unfortunately...
I've ran across the same problem on my Wallstreet and other machines as well. The problem is probably that your wireless card isn't supported by the new ath5k module that's included with the kernel. I'd need your model to verify that. You may want to add the madwifi repository and install t he actual madwifi module instead. YaST sees the older cards and loads the ath5k module. However, it doesn't work. I was hoping we could have had a warning message in 11.0, but that never got added. Here's the repo: http://madwifi.org/suse/11.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
