After kernel update yesterday to 2.6.25.16-0.1-default my wireless connection has gone. 'No wave carrier for eth0' Which (simple) correction should I make to restore that? Thanks, André den Oudsten

You lost a kernel module in the kernel upgrade. The quick fix is to reinstall whatever network card driver package is required. (I can't guess since you didn't tell us which card you have). You can use lspci to find your network card chipset and then load the needed driver. In your case the install provides a needed (*.ko) module that is now missing. Find the kernel module and find your eth0 you will ;-)
I work with openSUSE 11.0 and my wificard is Atheros AR242x 802.11 abg Wireless Express Adapter (rev 01) I tried to install net5211.inl with NDISGTK, but the reaction was 'No valid driver'. For the needed *.ko module I have no idea where to search.

Andre,
Use the following from the build service:
r3725+AR5007EG_2.6.25.5_1.1 [BS::home:/schmolle1980]
How do I get at BS::home:/schmolle?
André
I'm sorry, that was webpin's abbreviated output from the search ("webpin madwifi"). When you see a path like that, "BS::" is short for openSuSE "Build Service" and means "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/". The actual path is (for example 10.3 i586): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3/i... Change 10.3 to 11.0 and i586 to x86_64 as needed. Basically, just go to: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/ Browse down from there in either 10.3 or 11.0 and get the madwifi rpms and install them. Don't forget the package, the kmp, and devel versions (debug is optional). They will work. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
