Please describe your problem and attach corresponding logs. The Wireless Card is identified correctly in Yast, but networkmanager says "wlan0 Wireless disabled". I am unable to activate or use wireless.
Here are the logs:

Could you please attach the output of dmesg and the output of "cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/rfkill0/state" after booting up? Created attachment 256850 [details]
result of dmesg
The result of cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/rfkill0/state is 2 Thanks. How does this differ from Bug 440544? Care to turn the RF Kill switch off? The difference is that Bug 440544 is a request to get a fix released for opensuse 11.0 because it worked in 11.1 Beta 3. However, it is now broken again in 11.1 RC1, so it looks like a regression. Could you let me know how to turn the RF Kill switch off? I will test it then. Thanks. Problem solved - please close this bug. There is a hardware problem with the RF kill switch. I will take the laptop to the dealers in the morning. Thanks to Jiri Slaby for pointing me in the right direction. (In reply to comment #8 from Jan Askhoej) > There is a hardware problem with the RF kill switch. I will take the laptop to > the dealers in the morning. Are you sure? The killswitch handling in the driver is not completely correct at the moment too. Working on that currently. There might be some other problems in the driver regarding killswitch, but I wouldnt know. I just managed to force the button to turn on the wifi, and after that wireless worked with no problems (touch wood). best of luck on the driver. Thanks. Closing this one as a duplicate of the killswitch bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 446158 *** |
