RE: [opensuse] cannot see wireless networks (Suse 10.0)
Sometimes mine will do that, so what I usually do is su pccardctl eject pccardctl insert rcnetwork restart Basically, I just want to get the card to restart itself, and then get reinitialized. ~~~~~~~~~~ Have a Linksys wireless card using the ndiswrapper for the driver. Although it has bee working like a charm for the past few months, a couple of days ago it could no longer see wireless networks. The Power LED is lit on the card, however the Link LED doesn't flicker periodically as though there is no TCP traffic or even a 'heart beat' flicker. 'ifconfig shows the MAC address of the card and ndiswrapper -l shows, 'lstinds driver present, hardware present'. Any ideas on how I can fix this? ~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for the info. Sadly, that didn't work. Even a reboot doesn't fix the problem. Restarting the network shows wlan0 device: Wireless Interface and then it backgrounds the DHCP request, however I never see the LED flicker on the card. It is as though no packets are getting to the card. The card works when I boot into windows, but I don't really want to do that. What else can I do to trouble shoot this? Anything to look for in the logs? Thank you, ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Try running
dmesg | grep wlan0
and
dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
and see what shows up

On another subject, I used to have that happen a lot with my wired network card. Bugs the hell out of me. But with my GW-122 dongle, I just make sure ndiswrapper is loaded at boot, and everything works like a charm. The only problem I have is that KNetworkManager by default tries to start the ethernet card first. Is there anyway to stop that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
