WLAN card sees no network

hi

I have a Linksys WMP54G card and I works without problems.
Suddenly it doesn’t see any networks anymore.
nothing with “iwlist wlan0 scan”.
I started with the failsafe mode and it worked again, but I read something out of the starting text and there was something like:
“wlan0 IP x.x.x.x”
“wlan0 couldn’t start yet”

I happend the second time, but I installed openSuse 11.1 new the first time.

Where you using the NetworkManager? If so, try changing to the classical
ifup method in yast. There are a few people for which the networkmanager
stopped working in the last couple of days (mine since an update last
night).
Have a look in:
opensuse.org.help.network-internet.wireless group the thread:
WLAN with NetworkManager has stopped working!

the Knetwork Manager does not work at all.
Since the installtion of openSuse it says “Knetworkmanager is not running”.
So I use Yast.

I use KDE 4.1.87, but last time I had 4.1 and it happend too.

This could be a driver anomaly. I have an intel 4695 card and sometimes it just fails to discover any networks and thus ifup fails as well, without any configuration changes. As i use ifup i don’t use networkmanager. Does the problem resolve itself after a reboot or is it persistent?

ok, the strange thing is, that at the start and the shutdown, the text says, that the network couldn’t start yet, but it has an IP (automtic).

It is a bit strange, but I hope, with the new kernel it would’t happen again, but that will be in openSuse 11.2 I think

****, now it happened again and a restart in normal modus and failsafe didn’t work.

ifup and iwlist didn’t help anything.

as people before, i updated and my networkmanager stop working.

I just updated a few minutes ago the networkmanager package on yast, and everything seems to be working fine in my wireless.

i am using the madwifi drivers for my atheros card on a macbook

hope this helps

but I have a Linksys WMP54G card and not atheros, or is it a atheros card?

How to install the madwifi drivers, I didn’t find them in Yast
