Hi all, On my laptop system, I have a Cisco Aironet MPI350 that works great with firmware revision 5.60.21. Unfortunately, the wireless/airo driver in 2.6.16 does not work, though the 2.6.17 version of that driver does. As a result, I've been compiling the 2.6.17 version of wireless/airo every time a new kernel upgrade from openSUSE comes in. This process for me is still much better than using the previous firmware (forgot the exact version number) with the 2.6.16 and earlier drivers, which occasionally dropped the connection and could only be recovered by either rebooting or rmmod/modprobing airo (and, sometimes, froze during the rmmod). I thought it's probably time to mention it in case if it's possible to get the 2.6.17 version of wireless/airo patched into openSUSE's default kernel (my feelings won't be hurt if the answer is no). I've been using the 2.6.17 wireless/airo driver with the 5.60.21 firmware since May, and it's worked very well for me, but I'm only one data point.. The relevant kernel changelog for wireless/airo exists at http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17. Search for "airo" If including the 2.6.17 wireless/airo driver in openSUSE is acceptable, then I can also help out by transforming it into a patch that can go into the RPM build, if that helps. Thank you for your consideration, and thanks for the awesome product that is openSUSE :-)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As a related item, one of my servers connects using the 2006090409 CVS version of the rt2570 driver for a USB wireless adapter, and it's worked great with SuSE and openSUSE since this time last year (using earlier versions of that driver, of course). It would be nice if openSUSE included that driver, too, as I also have to compile that one when a new openSUSE kernel becomes available, though I can put the detail into another email message. Again, thanks for the great work you all have put into openSUSE :-)! -- Steven Lawrance E-Mail: slawrance@yahoo.com <mailto:slawrance@yahoo.com>
