deleting the interface in Yast and creating a new configuration does not help WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER=wext in ifcfg.wlan0 seems to fix the problem. possible fix: automatically try wext, if nl80211 does not work? In reply to comment #2) > WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER=wext in ifcfg.wlan0 seems to fix the problem. > possible fix: automatically try wext, if nl80211 does not work? Yes. Both suggestions are correct. To automatically try wext when nl80211 fails only "WPA_DRIVER=nl80211,wext" is needed in /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless. diff --git a/ifup-wireless b/ifup-wireless index f6394ac..2a1b308 100755 --- a/ifup-wireless +++ b/ifup-wireless @@ -760,7 +760,7 @@ case $ACTION in info_mesg "using WPA driver 'nl80211' for interface $INTERFACE" info_mesg "when you notice problems with this new driver, set " \ "WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='wext' and file a bug report" - WPA_DRIVER=nl80211 + WPA_DRIVER=nl80211,wext fi start_wpa_supplicant elif [ "$PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT" = "yes" ]; then( In reply to comment #2) > WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER=wext in ifcfg.wlan0 seems to fix the problem. > > possible fix: automatically try wext, if nl80211 does not work? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 625403 *** |
