Hello, 

can you send me yast2 logs after you configurate your wifi card in yast ?
If unsure look on:
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST

Thanks!
Comment 2 Christoph Thiel 2008-04-22 11:40:34 UTC
Closing NORESPONSE, due to missing information for more than 10 days.
Comment 3 Casual J. Programmer 2008-04-28 08:41:07 UTC
Again, closing bugs doesn't make them go away. If people don't answer for 10 days they probably have different priorities than you do.

If you want to do something helpful, please go ahead and check out all bugs waiting for response from assignee for more then ten days.

Yes, they don't. But in most cases its impossible to debug them without the information. Therefore we can not fix them. On the other hand the reporter always can REOPEN the bug with the information and we will continue with debugging (just like in this case).


Comment 7 Helmut Schaa 2008-04-30 08:41:04 UTC
Could you please verify if the iwl3945-module is loaded using 'lsmod | grep iwl3945'?

Some more output I'd like to see:
- dmesg
- iwconfig
both after issuing 'rcnetwork restart'

Thanks.
Comment 8 Casual J. Programmer 2008-04-30 15:12:41 UTC
This might be a re occurrence of Bug 366506 actually. And definitely I reported it also as Bug 384660 :-(

Fact is that the NIC connects to the AP and the AP can be logged into. Further Internet access is not possible under normal conditions. 

Only after 

ifdown eth0
dhclient wlan0

does the connection finally work.

Shutting eth0 off in yast2 lan does not help.

I added both commands to /etc/init.d/boot.local and am in business again.

Bug 384660 contains the relevant yast2 logs.

I am attaching dmesg and iwconfig to this one as requested.

Comment 11 Michal Zugec 2008-05-02 07:38:39 UTC
Does it work with NetworkManager? If yes, attache please (or just check) /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* files

>> Firewall is disabled, the AP can be reached and browsed.
What you mean with that? From other machines, from 10.2, from NetworkManager?
Comment 12 Casual J. Programmer 2008-05-02 08:07:12 UTC
NetworkManager does not work either, see Bug 345147

"Firewall is disabled, the AP can be reached and browsed" 

I did think this was pretty precise, apparently I am wrong.

I disabled the Firewall to make sure it's not getting in the way.

The AP I use to connect to the Internet ( a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 (UI), Firmware-Version 14.04.33 ) can be reached by typing its IP address in the Navigation Tool Bar and logged into OK as well as its contents browsed. 

This is also most probably a duplicate of Bug 384660.
Comment 13 Michal Zugec 2008-05-02 08:21:42 UTC
In case this is the same machine (I suppose so), configuration done by YaST is correct. The problem is with driver/dhcpcd/sysconfig/whatever. Marked as duplicate
