[opensuse-factory] Wifi on eee-pc-901 does not work after online update.
Hi, My attempts to get the wifi back to work failed. It is like the new yast interface does not use the correct handles, and does not save the settings. Wired works without any problem. I get very tired of the fact that the wifi always has to fail... It is just so stupid to have an ultra portable device, which you always have to put on a cord, so you cann't move... It works out of the box when installing from dvd, and as soon as the updates have come, it is broken, very sad. -- Have a nice day, Oddball, aka M9.

If you are using WPA you might want to try the old rt2860sta with the EEE patches.

It is all very strange to me: I reinstalled networkmanager says: no network running. I switch to ifup, smpppd and some other pkgs get installed: imediately online. Asking me want to update? I answer no. Install gets finished, i want to install thunderbird and krusader: updates want to be installed: i look at them: update rt2860, i click on it to unselect, it dissappears from the list. I accept, and guess what? it stil gets installed! After the install i reboot, to realy boot first. Network down. Can't get it up again: no essid acception, same as before.

I reinstalled again. So 2 times in one day. This time i did not install updates nor apps yet. In the systemlog there is much about ra0. I copied it to the bug above. Until now, the wifi does still work. I hope to analyse the cause when it breaks again.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

I just booted: no wifi. I booted the net instal iso for 11.2, but it did not find the wifi also. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

Which patch is needed to enable WPA? Couldn't that one be applied to the driver in the kernel as well? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I don't know anymore :( I have to look it up why this specific version+patches work for the chip in the 901. But my guess is that its already fixed in newer kernel versions.
