Description Ben Udiljak 2012-04-30 15:13:07 UTC

Hi. 

Since the last update NetworkManager (0.92 -> 0.94) not working for me any more. 

The wireless PCI device is listed as a 'wired network' and I cannot connect to my router by NetworkManager any more. 

iwlist is working normally and I switched to manual installation of the connection by '/etc/conf.d/net' (using wpa_supplicant). 

In the description of the new package I found the following suspicious notice: 

... "Do not use obsolete wext API by default" ...

(The relevant USE option might be "-wext")

I think my wireless device uses this API. (D-Link G520+ by ndiswrapper)

Greetings, 
Ben

I have the exact same problem since I updated, yesterday morning. My wireless card is an Ralink RT3062. It worked perfectly prior to installing the updates. The correct driver is still being loaded, as per "lspci -v".

Guys,
were you all using ndiswrapper?
What kernel version were you using, also?

Comment 7 Ben Udiljak 2012-05-02 14:00:25 UTC

(In reply to comment #6)

Yes, I'm using ndiswrapper. 

I tried different kernel versions (3.0, 3.1, 3.2).

Comment 8 Tim Cuthbertson 2012-05-02 15:04:17 UTC

No, I am using the driver for my chipset from the chipset maker, My card is a Ralink RT3062 and I compile and install driver rt3562sta.

No ndiswrapper for me:
# lsmod | grep ipw
ipw2200               101048  0 
libipw                 17680  1 ipw2200
cfg80211              115264  2 ipw2200,libipw
lib80211                2339  3 lib80211_crypt_ccmp,ipw2200,libipw

I updated yesterday. Network device function but i can't connect with any secured wireless LANs (including mine).
