Hi, thanks for the hint! This idea I had, too, but I was not able to find any kernels >=2.6.28. Now, I tried again and searched for "kernel" "2.6.28" "2.6.29-rc2" There are lots of 2.6.27 and older, but nothing newer. It seems that you found something?!? best, Volker Rafał Miłecki wrote:

I have problems with my wireless driver iwlagn.

all I can say is that it is not possible to log onto our university network. with Ubuntu, however, I _can_ long on. I was told that Ubuntu has patched that driver. So, my problem seems to be a known problem.

Does anyone know anything about this?

If this is matter of some bug that was fixed in Ubuntu, you have to use newer kernel. Probably 2.6.27 from openSUSE 11.1 is not enought (try 2.6.28 or 2.6.29-rc2). You can search for kernel package on http://software.opensuse.org/search

Hi again,

I indeed found something using google:

http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/v2.6.28-staging/x86_64/

what are those kernels? are they safe to use?

To the extent :-) They probably would not fire on you, but having plan B, ie. safe boot option with another kernel is good idea. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I used Suse 11.1 with the provided kernel and as Ubuntu, I used 8.10. Suse: Linux linux-vlnb 2.6.27.7-9-default #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu: 2.6.27.xxx : I have already deleted that partition again because I needed the space otherwise :-/ But I have only use the kernel that was shipped as a standard. does that help? best, Volker Greg KH wrote:

What ubuntu kernel version are you using that works? What opensuse version are you using that is not working?

thanks,

Hi Greg, thanks for your answer. Just to be on the safe side: Which repository holds the new kernel you refered to? Is it the following one: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/ thanks in advance, best, Volker Greg KH wrote:

Can you try the latest version of the opensuse kernel in the kernel-of-the day repository? I think this issue has already been fixed in one of the later 2.6.27.y releases (we are up to 2.6.27.12 already.)

If there are still problems, please file a bug and we will work on resolving it.

thanks,
