Hello,
I have opensuse 11.1 64bit on a DELL Latitude D830 laptop.
My problem us that I cannot connect to WPA encrypted wireless network. Everything works fine for WEP, but in case of WPA encrypted connection I only succed in joining the network in 5% of the cases. What I mean is, that sometimes (after I boot my computer) I get lucky and it connects but usually it doesn’t.
First I thought maybe it’s a NetworkManager problem so I installed WICD but I still have the same issue.
I think this problem only appeared after I upgraded to the latest kernel version 2.6.27.21-0.1-default from the official suse update repository. :\
Here is part of the the log from WICD:
