Well the problem appears to be that wpa_supplicant isn't getting started by your distro any more. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with opensuse. It seems it thinks the device isn't wireless but wired, since it starts ifplugd. OTOH maybe it wants ifplugd for wireless too? It's possible in theory. I'm downloading a livecd to figure out what might be going wrong. Can you try running wpa_supplicant manually to make sure it's a problem in the distro/kernel interaction and not in wpa_supplicant/kernel? johannes --=-CxhKh95bEL4qZfx2lkbh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKvhB+AAoJEODzc/N7+Qman8gQAJDmR5o4OtwYLnyiXWmBKrrp xaCcHtNOKzhwfhKkJSTcT7TvhDBdfCjUYGP/0eYtcAEml5MYnDwWbX+KzZEwaTrL e0ndR+Kg9Gjg9/JullAIdPAQfojfHrArwt6I4tA7AXIVYjryow5HSYye7F+eCq0i ECXebdA3PRLUW9ugdWLS+Nl1KvHE8OkKAt1HTVEQW0Wu3egtNxTW8yXyrD6D8jgF 4W4DRtKZ24644I7Q0uvTzmqrT3GtSZhZSFmXviy9nN+2/nmU9TKRJ6s8GV7JV+fB 6MZryzUFhy5L2PG/NTX/V1IYxS9M+46olgZm9wv6NuSgL/9xcV5UZE1Dd8S5d2WV uNfACpJtqC8grhq+q+aEdbhOv0YgT+pYMm63/gRNGUlNfdr4L+DRYnvcOiy6FCss oBFZbFCJpMioGIZxaRvAsjFVPdvTq+2DD0kVeZ1gM+HMg9HFVNHTBxTm7tA/a+DT 7SXQmQKzqwJ/k2zXc31cDZO/WNMapHqMFJZROqxAx4uH35+UOPyokix8CHdoMEFt xjb49pTb2S8zOrhXWWyxYyCkY2BO/wNOL7NgpxeV+93zS9uYNjEY2ZisjKKvrvPo SrkZ5Gcp94VQKpXqd4F39DTtbkT4AattdiKldRDvMkr7rz7pIH/zv6RrFhmxjjg/ SzYYkE2nDY5wtA35il7x =GMUL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CxhKh95bEL4qZfx2lkbh--
