[opensuse-factory] 10.2 A4 report
Installed 10.2 Alpha4 on a old laptop with the following problems: 1. USB mouse went haywire during install, used touchpad instead. 2. During package selection the screen stayed at 800x600 resolution even though I selected 1024x768 for the install res. 3. The Linksys wireless card is now recognised even though I needed to download a firware package from Ubuntu as one was not available from openSUSE that I could find. I do have the following error though: SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1 SoftMAC: Scanning 14 channels SoftMAC: Scanning finished ieee80211_crypt_tkip: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 2, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 ieee80211_crypt_ccmp: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP' bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 4, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 2, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 4, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team bcm43xx: Radio turned off bcm43xx: DMA 0x0200 (RX) max used slots: 1/64 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0260 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0240 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0220 (TX) max used slots: 1/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0200 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: PHY connected bcm43xx: Radio turned on bcm43xx: Chip initialized bcm43xx: DMA initialized bcm43xx: 80211 cores initialized bcm43xx: Keys cleared SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for networks first.

As you can see the radio is turned on and I can scan for and see my wireless network using kwifimanager but the signal strength (0) reported is too poor for a connection. A scan using KWiFiManager shows the correct SSID, Mode:Managed (correct), Quality: 100, WEP: on (correct). Not sure how I should report this as it worked correctly under 10.1 using ndiswrapper. The radio strength on the Linksys wrt54g router is turned up to a higher value as well. Not sure where to report the network problem. Also the onboard eth controller is working fine.

Using kinternet I _was_ able to initiate a wireless connection that KWiFiManager confirms. Seems strange that KWiFiManager couldn't do that. Will report as a bug. If anyone else is in need of the firmware for the WRT54G pcmcia wireless card let me know and I will send it off list.

Mmh - could y ou file a bug for this so that we can investigate and possibly ship the firmware as well? Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Correction: the graphics selection window stayed at 800x600 not the screen.

I too am an unfortunate bcm wlan owner hoping that 10.2 will help me get rid of the nasty destabilizing Ndiswrapper without buying a new card. My card doesn't work out of the box on alpha4 - it's recognized correctly by yast, NM doesn't see it. Haven't tried the firmware yet. Here are some links Driver site: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ Ubuntu doc on howto obtain firmware: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper#head-91813a... Don't know the licensing issues for it - but seems Ubuntu can host a firmware package on their Universe repo.. Will be great if we can get this sorted out.

Here are some links
Driver site: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
The driver is part of 2.6.18, so we have it.
Ubuntu doc on howto obtain firmware: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper#head-91813a...
Don't know the licensing issues for it - but seems Ubuntu can host a firmware package on their Universe repo..
So, could either of you file a bugreport, please?
Will be great if we can get this sorted out.

Installed alpha 4 on my second harddrive. First I learned that the DVD made by makeSUSEdvd again produces a "couldn't initialize catalogues" error when I tried to install with it. So I fell back to the 5 CDs which worked quite well, except (of course) that the USB Mouse went mad - installing by keyboard gave me really a hard time. I had also a new problem with my LCD and unsupported display modes provides by Sax2. In 10.1 I had no problem with this and now the only setting which works is 1024x786@60. Running 10.1 sax2 shows a PTS PROVIEW Monitor 1280x1024@75 (30-80kHz, 50-75Hz), but I'll investigate in this. I also recognized that openSUSE wants to delete my root AND also my home partition, when doing a fresh install. It would be better to have a detection that asks if one wants to keep the home partition. Personally I always update SUSE by installing in root and keeping all my data on /home. As a new feature I would like that the alpha/beta versions won't change my default grub bootscreen, 'cause I really want to keep my 10.1 bootscreen. So far, alpha 4 works impressively well for an alpha and I really like the new KDE menu. Kind greetings, have a happy openSUSE time, Tom. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
