Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 12.2M2 or M3 on a system with ipw2200-WLAN 2. start the YaST network module or anything that probes the network (with ethtool) 3. Actual Results: kernel gets stuck on cpu, WLAN does not work Expected Results: WLAN should work. Eventually I got the network running by: 1) blacklisting ipw2200 by adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf 2) starting it later by adding "/sbin/modprobe ipw2200" to /etc/init.d/boot.local 3) switch network control from NetworkManager to if-up The switch from NetworkManager to if-up was necessary, because NetworkManager offered only WEP+LEAP as security levels, not WPA+WPA2 after the first two steps. -- 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.
