Hello.
I have just installed OpenSuse 11 x86_64 and made absolutely no changes.
Now there is a problem with my WLAN card. The drivers are loaded, but only one access point is found (it is encrypted) although are lot of are available (i have a laptop for testing).
WLAN hardware:
#lspci
RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI
Kernel messages:
#dmesg | grep rt2
rt2500pci 0000:05:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
wmaster0 (rt2500pci): not using net_device_ops yet
wlan0 (rt2500pci): not using net_device_ops yet
Registered led device: rt2500pci-phy0:radio
Registered led device: rt2500pci-phy0:quality
Kernel messages about failing firmware:
#dmesg | grep firmware
platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/06-0f-06
platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/06-0f-06
Loaded drivers:
#lsmod | grep "rt2"
rt2500pci
rt2x00pci
rt2x00lib
mac80211
cfg80211
eeprom_93cx6
Are these drivers all necessary?
#iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
pan0 no wireless extensions.
To be precise, the NetworkManager shows one network. But if I use “iwlist wlan0 scan ” instead, no access point is found at all.
I will deliver additional information, but I don’t know which one exactly as I haven’t got any problems concerning WLAN in former releases.

Why don’t you try downloading this diagnostic script?
collectNWData Überblick / Overview | collectNWData.sh
the author does watch on this forum as well;
post the results back to the forum; as I understand it though, it may well give you pointers as the script is run;
one of our wireless experts on the forum: Axel; recommends it; it would be useful to see if it helps you with your problems;
let us know how you get along
