system-config-network uses iwconfig to configure the device... so if this driver does not support iwconfig or crashes the system, it is the drivers fault... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316 Description of problem: Hi, I don't think this to be a bug in this specific application, but it occures while starting it. The problem could also have something to do with the kernel. So, step by step: After I compiled and installed the cvs-snapshot of the at76c503a-driver (at76c503a.berlios.de) I plugged in my "T-Com T-Sinus 130 data" (a WLAN-device based uppon the "Siemens Gigaset USB card 11") that I'm used to use under Windows. The driver started correctly and the device was registered as "wlan0" (according to syslog). But if I now try to start the system-config-network-application to configure the device the whole system hangs. The only way to get the system running again is to restart the computer by pushing the power-button for 4 seconds. Then one should plug out the device, because there's a fatal kernel error while booting. As I tried other applications that need to search for the wlan-device (like the hardware explorer/manager (translated from german)) the error also occures. I don't think that this has something to do with the driver itself, because it is also used for the upcomming Suse Linux 9.1 release, but I'm a Linux-beginner, so I'm perhaps unable to judge about this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile and install the at76c503a-driver 2. plug in the device 3. try to start the application Actual Results: system hang Expected Results: the application should start normally Additional info:
