I enabled those on both machines for that trial, will keep them on for now. The failure mode is that iwconfig says ESSID:off/any instead of showing my essid, and I've no connectivity; but you probably need something more specific than that. I'll send you privately the .config of each machine, and the dmesg of each machine, from that trial. I've just compared the .configs against what works for 2.6.31, and everything relevant still seems to be there. I do wonder if this is an openSUSE interaction, whether another distro with the same kernel would be fine. Hugh
