Hi listmates,
I'm Acer and KDE 4 user, and this machine has wireless adapter:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
openSUSE 11.2 does the right job to automatically bring the Wlan0 start (the led is on) right after KDE is up, but different on openSUSE 11.3 M3 (and M2), the led is off and (of course) the wireless connection seems disable (eth0 still works though).
To solve this issue, I should first: 'service network restart' , and then 'modprobe -r iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945' .
My enabled repositories: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/
The used kernel version: 2.6.33-5-desktop
Does anyone have this issue too?
Should i file a bug?
Best regards,

Check the dmesg output for anything related to the radio kill switch.
AFAIK, the iwl3945 NIC works in 2.6.33.

Thanks for nice reply,

It certainly does, as i said:

It means iwl3945 works (it can connect to any Access Point), but not automatically run well right after KDE 4 is up on openSUSE 11.3 M3.
I'll see the dmesg output then.
Thanks.

This also happens on a Dell Studio 1745 with Intel 5100bg using iwlagn driver. Worked fine in 11.2 but not 11.3Mx. Seems to be a problem with dhcp not finishing before wlan0 is brought up. Restarting network works for me too.

I've seen this problem intermittently with i3945. Does it help if you do
ifconfig wlan0 up
instead of reloading the iwl3945 module?

I don't think it's a kernel problem - the same kernel works fine for me on openSUSE 11.2. I just tried M3 and hit a smiliar problem but could not enable iwl3945 at all. So, filing a bug might be the best. Could you tell us the bug number so that others can chime in, please?
