I installed beta 4 for SUSE 10.0 and about every 5 minutes my laptop sounds a
long beep.

any networkinterface configured to be activated "on cable plug"?

> any networkinterface configured to be activated "on cable plug"?

No, they are both set on boot time. However I am having a problem with my
wireless card. I put in a seperate bug (#114514) for it because it was not
loading. Could that be causing this problem? I didn't have this with beta 3 and
my card was working.

Please provide 500 lines of your syslog and attach the file:

Comment 6 Joe Harmon 2005-09-01 13:22:06 UTC 
BTW I really do think that this is linked to my wireless problem. It doesn't
start beeping until I try and enable the wireless card. But perhaps you will
find something different
Comment 7 Michael Gross 2005-09-01 13:38:53 UTC 
The syslog is flooded with this message:

Sep  1 07:17:27 linux kernel: wifi0: hfa384x_get_rid - RID len mismatch: rid=0xf
d51, len=2 (expected 6)

So, good guess ;)
Comment 8 Timo Hoenig 2005-09-09 12:49:44 UTC 
Not my case. Assigning to basesystem.

cc'ing Joe. He might help if the assumption about wireless being involved is true.
Comment 9 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-09-09 13:04:58 UTC 
Ahmmm ... and as maintainer of the basesystem Ißv to know what
goes wrong on your notebook.  Sorry currently I don not own
a crystal ball.
Comment 10 Joachim Gleissner 2005-09-09 13:15:24 UTC 
As discussed in bug 114514, there was a wrong driver loaded for your WLAN card, 
but I don't think that this is causing a beep. The cardmanager used to beep in 
former times, but it is gone in 10.0. Does the beep still occur when the right 
driver is loaded?

Sorry Joachim I forgot to get back to this one. Once the right driver was loaded
the beep stopped. Marking as resolved.
