Here's what I posted to the list yesterday. I've got exactly the same problem.
I've recently updated to Beta 2 - (via the CDs, using the update as opposed to
reformatting and reinstalling). From what I can tell, wireless still does not
work properly.
A bit of background:
Card: Dell Truemobile 1300 (mini-pci, b+g)
Driver: Linuxant Driverloader
Network Device: eth1, wlan0
I've set it up on both devices. When I go to this card in the Yast - >
"Network Card" -> "Network Card Configuration Overview", I see both my ethernet
and my wireless card, detected properly. Using hwinfo gives all proper
information about the card. The first red flag I get is when I go to edit the
wireless device properties. The error is:
"The device does not have a driver module. The driver may be built into the
kernel."
I assumed this wasn't a problem, as I had the driverloader software ready to go.
However, when I go to change the device type from ethernet to wireless, I get
this error:
"You have changed the device type from the one that has been detected. This
only makes sense if you know that the detection is wrong."
Again, I understand the warning. I KNOW the device is wireless. I move to
proceed. I still can not get an IP from my wirleess router. Another
interesting thing to note - when I call "ifstatus wlan0" or any combination
ifup or ifdown, I get this error:
linux:/var/log # /sbin/ifdown wlan0
wlan0 no such interface
ERROR: interface wlan0 is not available
ERROR: interface wlan0 is not available
/var/log/messages doesn't show me anything useful. I read in this bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=103740
That pc card support "is in a broken state". However, my card is detected fine.
Does the "PCI Device Driver" applet in Yast -> System need to be configured
with the device and the driver? This has been tried as well to no avail

/var/log/messages for 8/18-8/19
This is the most recent /var/log/messages file I've got on file. I think I may
have found something - specifically, in these last lines of the file (starting
line 1051).
From what I gather, eth1 IS actually finding the router and at least attempting
to get an IP. However, there's an error with dhcpcd, and because of an
"infinite ip lease", it won't allow it.
I don't know what it's worth, but maybe it's a lead..
Ivo: I think the problem is that hwinfo doesn't know about rt2570 being a wlan driver. I'll fix that. Christopher: Yes, PC-Card support was broken, but you have a mini-PCI one, so you're not affected. I do not have any clue of the Linuxant Driverloader, though, so I can't help here. We can't support third party drivers anyway. Card should be detected with RC1. |
