Hi All,
I've just put 10.2 (x86_64) on my laptop. During the installation, the wireless network card (RT2500) was detected and configured correctly. The network connection test passed at that point.
Subsequently, I cannot get the wi-fi to connect (no IP from DHCP, cannot ping if I set a static address.) ifconfig reports:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:09:9B:06:2C UP NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1824 (1.7 Kb)

and I get:
wlan0: cannot create symlink to default key
from dmesg when restarting the network.
So, what is wmaster0? Any ideas as to where to look for clues to solve this?
The RT2500 driver is unfortunately not very stable yet. The wmaster0 is the ieee802.11 interface, wlan0 is the ethernet compatible interface. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
