If i do 'iwlist eth1 scanning' I get 17 access points listed. All have in common that reported 'Quality' is at least 16 but 'Signal' level is zero, e.g like this:
[...]
Of course no connection neither with NetworkManager nor with traditional iwconfig/ifup is possible. NetworkManger even does not show me the access points.
Is the ipw2100 driver broken? Does anyone have this problem with other WLAN hardware?
With openSUSE-11.1 WLAN did work almost perfect. Starting witn openSUSE-11.2 it was no longer possible to associate to an AP while NetworkManager was still showing them all.
Hi Stefan, I use an IBM Thinkpad R50 with Centrino chipset and have the same problem. My WLAN card worked fine with 11.2, and refuses to connect with 11.3. Signal is available (4 APs are shown), but no connection. At boot time, I get the warning that the hardware does not support WPA2 and therefore the connection can't be stablished. Strange that the hardware was able to cope with WPA2 in openSUSE 11.2. On http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2100 it is reported that the firmware may crash in newer kernel versions. But in kernel 2.6.9 everything was well...
