Hi,
I jump into this thread because I experienced a similar problem lately.
I have a Dell laptop (inspiron 6400) with an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 wlan card
and Opensuse 10.2 installed. Until the last kernel update (2.6.18.0.3 i
believe) the card was properly detected and knetwork manager prompt me at
every boot up for the wap key of my wireless network (which is handle through
kwallet). Oddly, after the kernel update, the card is not recognize onto YaST
-> network -> network adpater. And the wireless card is not active. If I
manualy load the driver (modprobe ipw3945) and restart the network (rcnetwork
retstart), it is then detected (but does not appear in the available adapter
list under YaST), knetwork manager starts and network is available.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Matthias
