Bug 116337

Please provide yast2-logs. Does this happen during the installation or
afterwards? (please read: http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST). 

Also provide more verbose information about yout hardware (lspci, hwinfo). Try
to be more verbose either, what exactly did you configure how?

Samsung 11Mbps WLAN Card was detected during installation and I configured it
through the yast dialog. The card's led behaved as if the configuration happened
allright. After installation I tried to ping an address but I got the error
message "network unreachable". I tried to reconfigure the card with yast but the
situation didn't turn any better

Ok, these drivers are detected for the card (y2log-1:813): [$["active":true, 
"modprobe":true, "modules":[["hostap_cs", ""]]], $["active":false, "modprobe":
true, "modules":[["prism2_cs", ""]]], $["active":true, "modprobe":true, 
"modules":[["orinoco_cs", ""]]]]

So hostap_cs and orinoco_cs are loaded, prism2_cs is not.

When yast tries to bring the interface up, it says (y2log:1172):
2005-09-10 16:14:17 <1> linux(5518) [YCP] Service.ycp:277 Running service

During the internet test, this was in the kernel log (internet-test/messages):
kernel: wifi0: dropped unencrypted TX data frame (drop_unencrypted=1)

So Joachim, does this give you an idea what is going on?
Olli, I think it would be useful to attach /var/log/messages too.

It's quite strange that hostap_cs and orinoco_cs are loaded, I would expect   
only hostap_cs. Martin, does YaST write some module to load into the   
hwcfg-file or something?  
 
Olli, does it help when you add PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT='no' 
to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-*? 

PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT='no' in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-* didn't help.
I remember in earlier versions all I had to do was to uncomment Samsung card info 
in a config file  (*-ng) in /etc/pcmcia (?) directory and configure with yast.
Now, I suppose, the card should be detected automatically (as it seems in the
yast configuration dialog) and the card's led behaves as if the card got configured.

No, yast only writes hostap_cs to hwcfg (even that it actually should not do, 
see bug 116211). I don't know how to help here, Joachim please you try. 

I did the following - replaced hostap_cs with prism2_cs at yast hardware dialog
for Samsung card. After that KInternet 'current connection' showed there
actually seemed to be a wireless connection with ip etc. But Firefox couldn't
still find pages. I did the following

linux:/home/okl # dhcpcd -d wlan0
****  dhcpcd: already running
****  dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run//dhcpcd-wlan0.pid file
linux:/home/okl # rm /var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid
linux:/home/okl # dhcpcd -d wlan0
dhcpcd: MAC address = 00:02:78:e1:b0:c0
dhcpcd: your IP address = 81.197.195.33
linux:/home/okl #

After that my wireless internet connection worked. This dhcp problem existed
often with earlier versions, too. I had to delete dhcpcd-wlan0.pid file and
'dhcpcd -d wlan0'. After that everything worked. A little awkward, though, after
every booting.

Do I understand correctly that after booting you get no connection but after restarting dhcpcd it works? Do you have eth0 configured using dhcp as well by chance?

Anything new here?
