--- Comment #53 from Crispin Cowan
I am not sure what the status of this is upstream but I have been following the iwl driver and it's doing pretty well right now. I hope that in openSUSE 11.0 the iwl driver will be default as the ipw is buggy and doesn't have much if any movement.
JG, any thoughts on that / this?
Boggle. I haven't tried upstream lately, but every time I have tried iwl it has been a horrible failure. It has a lifespan of a few minutes to a few hours (random) and when it fails, a reboot is the only thing that fixes it. In contrast, I switched to using the ipw driver, and while it totally fails under Network Manager, it works perfectly under traditional ifup network controls. So I would really hope that SUSE 11.0 goes the other way, fixes Network Manager, and uses the ipw3945 driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
