Works well (with 2009 drivers). You sometimes have to go into YAST and scan networks for it kick into life

It’s a lost fast now. Thanks very much for this – I was almost at the point of spending £137 for Vista

THAT SOLUTION DOESN’T WORK FOR ME. MY SPEED HAS FALLEN FROM 1.8MByte/s(OpenSuse 10.3) to 500Kbyte/s – unstable with Opensuse 11.1. That solution does NOT work!

Como nota adicional les comento que tengo dos USB Wifi, uno de conceptronic y otro D-Link, ambos con el chip ralink-r73, haciendo un $ lsusb me los detecta de la siguiente manera. El Conceptronic – Atheros comunications inc C54RU y el D-Link System DWL-G122 802.G adapter [ralink-r73] La señal de recepción de ambos siempre estaba entre el 70/71 % y después de instalar estos nuevos drivers ahora la señal es siempre del 100%,esto quiere decir que estos nuevos drivers dottan de mas compatibilid a los dispositivos y tan solo por unos 18 € que vale cada uno por el contrario la mini PCI intel 3945 no llega al 90% Espero que despues de todo esto tan largo que he escrito os sea de utilidad Para hacer este manual me he basado de la siguiente web: susegeek [...]

Thanks man you are a life saver. I installed openSuSE 11 and it seemed to not even recognize the wireless adapter although it was working fine in previous editions.

I installed all the updates (during the installation) and then got the appropriate version of compat-wireless from their website and it worked beautifully.

Ahh .. if only i hadn’t wasted last night and half of today on this.

But thanks alot for this tip.

I did the full make but not ‘make install’.
Then one by one I copied the .ko files for use in the running kernel after unloading the individual modules.

modprobe -r iwl3945 # to unload
modprobe iwl3945 # to load

Keep an eye on /var/log/messages to see if the load is happy and if not copy the next module …

Fixed mine by compiling a 2.6.26 kernel. Got the source from download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/thoenig/openSUSE_11.0/.

Errol, could you give one example of the command to selectively install just one of the kernel modules, ie iwl3945.ko? Is it just # make load iwl3945.ko ? Then presumably I can install the remaining 3 in the same fashion. I don’t want to have to reinstall again! Thanks, Steve
