Bug 370173

At the conclusion of the wireless configuration I get the message:

Wireless Network Card (not connected)
BusID : 0000:03:00.0
Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present

But lsmod reports:

# lsmod | grep iwl4965
iwl4965               109660  0
firmware_class         25856  4 microcode,pcmcia,iwl4965,uvcvideo
mac80211              170504  1 iwl4965

Which suggests that it _is_ present.

Looking in the /dev directory shows:

# ls /dev/*w*
/dev/cdrw  /dev/dvdrw  /dev/fwmonitor  /dev/watchdog
# ls /dev/eth0
ls: cannot access /dev/eth0: No such file or directory

So it does not seem to be a missing entry in /dev

The wireless interface is reported in the YAST2 Hardware information as:

Hopefully enough information to be useful
