Hi all, I've upgraded my laptop's SuSE to 9.3 and I have a small problem: iwconfig doesn't show any statistics on the wireless card (signal strength etc.). This happened after the upgrade (9.2 worked just fine). however, the wireless works (at least for a while). Config: Dell X200 Dell 1150 (802.11b) mini-pci card (orinoco). If anyone can help me with this... Thank you very much, Laur -- Reg. Linux User: 387880.

I guess you're using the orinoco_pci driver. I currently have no Orinoco PCI card so I can't reproduce this, but a PCMCIA one works fine for mine, though. You can give a newer version of the driver a try, it's available here: http://www.ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/orinoco-0.15rc2.tar.gz I fear it needs minor adjustments to build on recent kernels. cu... -- Joachim Gleißner

I had a look in the driver and there is an interesting "feature": if in Ad-hoc mode, then you need a spy (iwspy +) to get link statistics. Otherwise, it returns 0 :( Strange.
I fear it needs minor adjustments to build on recent kernels.
it worked "as is" :) it even adds scanning! Cheers, Laur
