Okay,

So I saw that I can update my kernel and I figured, sure, why not.
2.6.21-rc5-git2-31-default is what I have.

I added software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/ to my source
and did an upgrade.Everything works except for, you guessed it, my wifi. I have
both IPW3945 and a Madwifi card in my computer. Both worked just fine, I
installed the rpms from YaST when I installed openSUSE 10.2 and all was well.
NOW, no wifi works and I checked and they are present in /sbin but nothing works,
not even modprobe. Now I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I have
that wlan-default kernel installed from YaST if that makes a difference. Any
ideas of what may be wrong or has anyone else experienced this? What's my best
option to take here? Thanks all.
