[opensuse] wireless lan problems on Suse 10.3
I'm having problems with the wireless lan on my Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E8310 laptop. I see on the net that there are various problems with the device and various groups working on them. I'd like to get the most recent version of the same driver that Suse put into it's 10.3 release. Can anyone point me to the group or CVS server that Suse uses? Interestingly, I published almost the exact query about almost the exact same problem with my sd card reader today, and someone requested that I include the lspci -vt output.

At that point, my wife's windows laptop can now longer use WLAN either! It's starting to sound like a power-saving problem! Any ideas will be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sounds like two problems.... First, turn off powersaving in kde/gnome as well as the bios (if available), or set the time period stupendously long to see if the problem is in fact related to power saving. In any event, if this crashes your router, you need to go on line to the router manufacturer and see if there is a firmware upgrade for that as well. -- ----------JSA--------- Sig line deleted for the humor impaired. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use neither of those window managers (but rather FVWM, which surely does not power management), but the idea of turning of the power management for diagnostic purposes is a good idea. I'll try that.

There should be one, but even before this acceptable wireless router was "discontinued", there were no firmware updates available for it. Hmmm. Do you mean that the problem may be strictly in the router and not in linux? Okay, I guess I should use cygwin for awhile ... to see if windows makes it crash. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
