Then, I switch to the traditional networking method and tried to configure the wireless hardware. YaST tried to download iwl3945-ucode, but failed. Maybe, kernel-firmware does not provide iwl3945-ucode properly.
Would it be possible to post output of "hwinfo --sys". If your laptop is not recognised then the wlan firmware is not installed by default. This could be a duplicate of [1]. [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591703#c0
Good shot! hwinfo --sys 02: None 00.0: 10107 System [Created at sys.63] Unique ID: rdCR.n_7QNeEnh23 Hardware Class: system Model: "System" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: thermal,fan are active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe thermal; modprobe fan" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
This should be fixed in M8 [1]. If not bnc 591703 shall be reopened. [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591703#c14
Hello, installed M7 on an Fujitsu P1620 with Intel 3945, but no wlan are found (neither by networkmanager nor by "iwlist scanning"). Dmesg outputs: iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2 iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: -2 iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: Could not read microcode: -2 Looks to me like the problem of this bug ? Do i have to wait till MS 8 or is there a workaround ? Regards, user2304

Shell be fixed in MS8. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 591703 ***
Vladimir, in which bug is the WPA-EAP issue tracked?
(In reply to comment #7) > Vladimir, in which bug is the WPA-EAP issue tracked? For the record. WPA-EAP problem with Intel 3945 in 11.3 is tracked in: bnc 601501 - connecting to secure wireless network fails most of the time
