Since updating my system to 11.2 WLAN is broken in that knetworkmanager lists all reachable access points but connecting is not possible, even if I switch my router (and connection settings) to unencrypted. Since knetworkmanager shows all access points and their signal strength I'm sure my WLAN hardware is not broken. Now I switched with yast2 to traditional (ifup) based network setup. This did not change anything: Still ethernet based connection works, but 'ifup eth1' (for WLAN) fails on getting an IP address: Starting DHCP4 client on eth1. . . . . . . eth1 DHCP4 continues in background It is still possible to list access points with "Netzwerk durchsuchen" on a page of the 'yast2 lan' configuration module. The only single visible difference is a polling action which starts immediately after switching to traditional setup (which shows up my /var/log/messages because of my ipw2100 module debug flags): Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 Startmode is 'manual' Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: No configuration found for vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185248] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185260] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185278] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185284] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185296] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185303] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185312] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185318] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185331] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_range GET Range Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185353] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_wap Getting WAP BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00 The 'unassociated' messages repeat every second. I really would like to know what's going wrong here and if it is an Intel resp. ipw2100 specific problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
