Yes, but this is only the user space daemon, isn't it?
You're quite right. Sorry.
However, since I know I've never compiled a kernel module for linux, and my laptop worked pretty quickly after I bought a wifi router, I'm pretty sure it is in the suse system. I looked in the kernel package for something that might be it, but didn't see anything. I have the Intel iwlwifi and ipw3945 sites in my bookmarks, but I don't recall ever downloading anything from them, and I just set up my wifi in the middle of June, so I'd have remembered anything more complicated than downloading and installing a binary rpm. But I really don't remember even that.
Have you actually tried setting your machine up with the original suse installation?
Yes, both 64bit on the z61p and 32bit on the Sony. And compiling ipw3945 doesn't work either. So i've installed a vanilla 2.6.22.3 with ipw3945 and everything is fine. Only a tip to openSUSE community, don't put iwl3945 into standard, it doesn't work. Better an old driver with users apce daemon then a broken driver.
