[opensuse-factory] oS 12.2 rc2 and Centrino fails to keep connection between reboots

Not sure where to report this issue or doing properly isolated. Please let me know. openSUSE 12.2 rc 2 KDE 4.8.4 r2 Installed twice different settings same outcome. Driver: ipw-firmware-9-12.1.1 for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG from openSUSE-12.2-1.5 repository It is able to show all Access Point (AP) around. First connection to the AP works pretty fine. Finished this session by shutdown and turning on or reboot the system Network Manager shows all Wireless Access Point available except the one is was connected before. Note: 1. KWallet is activated and it seems so far working fine 2. Network Manager (Network Connections on Configure Module) shows AP to it was connected before 3. Network Manager Interface shows WLAN interface is not connected anymore to known and before allowed AP. It is able to show other AP available around 4. Deleting the AP from Network Manager and rebooting the system makes the AP available again. So it is possible to establish a successful new wireless session. However Deleting the AP from Network Connections makes KDEInit4 PID:1294 Signal segmentation fault (11) Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Linux and FOSS Projects Ambassador openSUSE Project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I think it has been around since 12.1. You can unload/reload the wireless driver to avoid the reboot. It is definitely a NetworkManager problem. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for your feedback. True, It has been randomly around from openSUSE 12.1Milestone 1 for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG from one to another one disregard the distro version (openSUSE and Fedora) and desktop environment. However it is completely new for Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300. I was looking to isolate why it fails and successfully tried Debian derivatives and openSUSE 12.1 However this issue is coming on openSUSE 12.2 rc 2 again. I am concerned it could be on Final Release Larry, I didn't have a clear picture what do you mean by "unload/reload the wireless driver to avoid the reboot". Could you explain a little bit? How it applies to Laptops or mobility devices? If I logout this condition makes its own.....cannot reconnect to AP and the AP dissappear from Wireless AP Lists.

The command 'modprobe -r driver_name' is the way to unload a driver. It applies to any computer running Linux. To unload/reload, you need to sudo /sbin/modprobe -rv iwlagn sudo /sbin/modprobe -v iwlagn If iwlagn is not the correct driver, adjust the commands.
