[opensuse-factory] wireless network missing
Hi, 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

I am running a recent svn version of the madwifi module.
In addition Jiri Slaby added support for my card in ath5k in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373098 I am running a 2.6.27-rc3 kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586... BOTH drivers do not see this WLAN but they see all the other ones! any more ideas? greetings Felix Möller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What does dmesg say when you plug the card in? Maybe there's an irq conflict of something happening. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Helmut solved it in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=419904 One has to add the parameter ieee80211_regdom=EU to cfg80211 otherwise channel 13 is blocked.
