another issue came up as wifi lan adapter looks not working. It is an intel pro 3945 abd. Kernel module loaded (ipw3945), but wlan indicator led show heavy traffic on it, but just simply not initialized. Kernel is default: 2.6.22.5-31. Should i try with another module? or kernel?
The Intel driver ipw3945 is apparently of poor quality. Do a search in bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/query.cgi) with Words:3945 and Product:opensuse 10.3 and you will find there are 10 open bugs being actively worked on now. If you feel that your case does not fit in any of those, by all means submit a new bug report, so they can start working in fixing it for
I have an x61 and for a couple of days I have been playing with the ipw3945, even I got a new router thinking that might do the trick. No luck. Then I remove this one and and load the new one. Now it is working great. This is from opensuse 10.3 release note:
<<< You can change the the default using YaST. Click "Software" -> "Software Management" and remove the ipw3945d package. Then the alternative iwlwifi driver gets automatically selected for installat
yes, you can install it, but iwlwifi is not supporting unbroadcasted SSID networks... hmm.
finally many things working nice: (1) wireless: i have very kind help by Ben Kevan, it seems to be a bug in KNetworkManager (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330995), solution is simple to use "what ifup" method. Ben's instructions: YaST --> Network Devices --> Network Card Click on the "Global Options" tab. Under the "Network Setup Method" switch it to "Traditional Method with ifup" Reboot and see if you connect (You will not get the KNetworkManager in the systray, so you will just have to try to get to a web site) or open a Konsole and type: /usr/sbin/iwconfig and see if you have a connection (you can do /sbin/ifconfig to check your ip addresses etc). (2) ATI x1400 and 1680x1050 native panel resolution: there are many ways, but the most simplest is: http://en.opensuse.org/ATI#openSUSE_10.3 Just click on the link and done. This is going to be fixed in version 11 by having a native driver in the OS (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340890). (3) install time partitioning issues, can be solved with some easy rules: if you change anything in the part.table (resize or even jsut the type), then do not format in that session. (reboot), and then works perfect. so, it looks very promising for me ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
