Description Sergey - 2010-01-04 21:46:32 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 SUSE/3.5.6-1.1.1 Firefox/3.5.6

WiFi with WPA-PSK2 is broken for my Asus EEE PC 1000. Machine hangs after Yast2->Network settings or soon after boot. Previous kernel-default-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.i586.

It uses rt2860sta.ko module. Scanning WiFi networks in yast2 completes successfully, but pressing OK causes hangs soon after firewall init.

Work around: install old kernel-default-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.i586 module, then:
zypper al kernel-default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. zypper up
2. reboot

Actual Results:  
machine hangs

Expected Results:  
normal wifi networking.

Can you provide a screen shot of the kernel oops?

This sounds very similar to my report and according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC#Specifications the EEE PC 1000 hast the same Ralink RT2860 chipset. Since I have a screenshot I'm marking this as a duplicate.
