Hello, my wireless usually stops working correctly after few minutes/hours. When i do “/etc/init.d/network restart” it starts working again but only for a short time (usually minutes/seconds). I need to restart completely, sometimes it help for a while. It is dual boot system, windows 7 works fine. Other devices using wifi work without problems. I have found similar problem on other non-suse linux sites, sometimes they were solved and if it was so then it was done by kernel update few months ago. Is this known issue in suse?

Thanks for help. I will be happy to provide other information if necessary.

There is no suse. Do you mean SUSE, or openSUSE? From the later part of your
posting, not quoted here, it appears you are using openSUSE 12.2.
If a problem like your was solved with a kernel update, and that solution was
due to a change in the driver for your wireless, you can either use a newer
kernel, or use the compat-wireless package for your kernel.
Yes, as I have already written in my first post (maybe you missed that part) I use openSUSE 12.2 64bit. I am using up to date standard packages, I can try some newer versions of kernel from different repositories if it is recommended, I tend to use standard packages as much as possible because I don’t want to risk other issues. I will also test with compat-wireless, thanks for info.
Solved by kernel upgrade (upgrade of openSUSE from 12.2 to 12.3)
