Edimax EW7717Un- doesn't want to work in 11.3 Part1

English Network/Internet

Hi, I was hoping that 11.3 would sort this ongoing problem out for me. It works, it doesn’t work so on and so forth! Following the
“My wireless doesn’t work - a primer on what I should do next page”
the first few cmnd line entries were irrelevant. However, here are the results (edited) of the dmesg file.

this link was working yesterday afternoon, just working yesterday evening and totally useless this morning

any suggestions?

Please check the tail of /var/log/NetworkManager for any explanation of why the
deauthentications are occurring. The usual reason for “reason=2” is an incorrect
“secret”. Did anyone mess with your AP?

Hi, lwfinger

*Please check the tail of /var/log/NetworkManager for any explanation of why the
deauthentications are occurring. The usual reason for "reason=2" is an incorrect
"secret". Did anyone mess with your AP?*

I haven’t been using networkmanager, I’ve been using YAST. /var/log/NetworkManager is a 0byte size file.

i’ve even tried to install the edimax driver, but this collapses at the make stage!

I’ve just been editing the /etc/sysconfig settings to see if this helps?

any other suggestions?

I have the same problem.

My wireless worked fine, but I wanted to let aiccu start at boot. It works, but it doesn’t automatically make an ipv6 tunnel. So I found this bugreport: Bug #223825 “aiccu init.d script will race dhclient (upstart iss...” : Bugs : aiccu package : Ubuntu

And then I messed with the /etc/sysconfig-settings editor. In Network/General I changed this value: WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES.
After that, my wireless didn’t work. It has a connection, but then suddenly disconnects.
If I try the ifup setting in the Network configuration, then I can get a wireless connection, but I want to keep using NetworkManager

Booting into windows didn’t work for me:

Changeing the wireless channel didn’t work for me either:
