Description m. bracher 2007-07-29 18:42:06 UTC 
Hardware IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with Intel wireless card (ipw3945)
Detected as eth1 (OK, same on suse10.2)
Network setup: Traditional Method with ifup

When configuring network via yast2, the wireless device is shown as:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
When "Configure", on the "Hardware" tab you can see that the right module (ipw3945) will be loaded. 
On the "Address" tab you can see that "Device Type" is "Ethernet" and not "Wireless" as it should be.
The consequence is that the page to configure the wlan access will not appear when you press "Next".
(when I copy the configuration from suse10.2 as ifcfg-eth1, the connection works perfect)

I retried the configuration (see last log). This time, the dialog for wlan configuration appeared, but afterwards the device was still not configured.
Comment 3 Michal Zugec 2007-08-06 11:14:20 UTC 
network in alpha6 was broken 
try alpha7 please
Comment 4 m. bracher 2007-08-06 11:47:00 UTC 
With alpha7 it is not possible for another reason: the kernel module is missing! see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297629
Comment 5 Michal Zugec 2007-08-06 13:22:59 UTC 
ugh, I see
Can you download that package from alpha6? I hope will be compatible
Comment 6 m. bracher 2007-08-12 19:06:12 UTC 
With the module from alpha6 on alpha7:
Configuration with yast2 lan works.
