wlan interface is called wlan0_rename_re
Last modified: 2008-07-11 16:32:31 UTC
on my factory installation, my wlan interface is now called wlan0_rename_re. This looks broken.
What's the content of: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ?
# PCI device 0x8086:0x5227 (ipw3945) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:77:6d:a0:67", NAME="eth1" Note: I use iwl3945! dmesg shows: wmaster0 renamed to eth1 udev: renamed network interface wmaster0 to eth1 wlan0 renamed to wlan0_rename
The line misses: ATTR{type}=="1" When you delete the file from the old installation and reboot, all works and the recreated file looks correct, right?
Indeed, if I delete the line everything looks fine, the file contains now: # PCI device 0x8086:0x4227 (iwl3945) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:77:6d:a0:67", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0" and the interfaces are wmaster0 and wlan0

Bumping to major, this can break networking in some cases.
A %post script to add KERNEL== match to existing persistent net rules, created by earlier installations, added. This hopefully fixes it.

After switching to OpenSuSe 11 from 10.3 I also could not connect to wireless. I read this bugfix and found that the actions here were necessary, but did not actually get a working connection. I could use KWiFiManager to see the networks and Kwlan would do a number of things but not connect. WPA-Supplicant would not start. I found that if I would disable networking service, which also shut down Bluetooth, nfs, syslog, and autoyast, then start it back up, then I could run Kwlan and the WPA-Supplicant seemed to work. I got a connection that reported as working and got an ip assignment from my router, but it still would not actually transfer data. Today I tried out using KWiFiManager and then running netgo that I got from Packman. It is a CLI application, and I had to enter a valid static ip, netmask, gateway, and nameserver, as well as the security codes, but now it looks like it works. It is not a thing that just turns on and works when you boot, so I hope someone is working on this wifi function for SuSe 11?
