The fix is to in YAST, select Configure on the Wireless Card. Select the Hardware Tab, then change the Kernel Module in the Module Name Drop down list from the ipw3945 to the iwl3945. Save the settings and exit out of YAST. Reboot the laptop.
If the iwl3945 kernel module is not in the list install it first then reboot and change.
Ack, that is a good fix - except for the reboots; absolutely no need for any of that, just rmmod the ipw3945 and you're good to go.
Here's something I just found and points to where the "real" problem with hidden sites is, when for awhile I assumed it was KNetworkmanager....so did others. For almost 2 weeks, I've been using the ipw3945 driver and the standard ifup method to connect. I just changed from that driver to the iwl3945 driver, stopped the ipw driver and used Yast to setup using the iwl driver with KNetworkmanager.....just to see what happend. I've NOT been able to see hidden sites, including my own at home, with KNetworkmanager.......now I can. So, it would appear that this problem that plagues some others with different chipsets have a problem with the driver, NOT KNetworkmanager. Thanks to Chuck Stuettgen for pointing this out!!
