I couldn't connect to my router any longer using WPA2 encryption. Scanning was possible (I saw a bunch of networks) but connecting didn't work. As I already had a very similar problem under 11.1, I tried the fix that worked then (and, honestly, I'm a BIT miffed that yet another kernel update breaks my wifi setup AGAIN...): Compiling and using the vendor driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1ERXdMekEzTHpFMkwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa05qZ3hPRFUwTmpBd05DNWllakk5UFQweU1ERXdYekEzWHpFMlgxSlVNamcyTUY5TWFXNTFlRjlUVkVGZmRqSXVOQzR3TGpBdWRHRnlD (it was version 2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0) The driver is compiled with 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y' (just like described in the docs for working with NM) Then I copied the RT2860STA.dat from the vendor package (didn't change anything there) to /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat and the compiled module from os/linux/rt2860sta.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.34.4-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860 Now my wifi works again (and my wifi interface is now called ra0 instead of wlan0). But of course it'd be neat if it just worked out of the box - like it did before the kernel update. I sincerly hope that the next kernel update won't have me manually compiling kernel modules AGAIN ;-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel update with opensuse updater and reboot 2. Try to connect to router with wpa2 3. Can't establish connection Actual Results: Can't establish connection to router. Expected Results: Wifi working smoothly, like it did before the kernel update. -- 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.
