Hello,

Since I've upgraded Suse 10.2 to 11 on my laptop,
network configuration became a mess, while ifconfig gives:

ifconfig -a

interfaces wmaster0 and pan0 are not present in the
network configuration of yast; and ndiswrapper is unable to
create a new interface...

Does anybody know how to configurate such hardware? To
be more precise I'm working on a laptop acer Ferrari4000
serie, using a Broadcom BCM4318 AirForceOne 54g; under
suse10.2 it worked (approximatively) with ndiswrapper, but
how does it go with suse11?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion
Michel

pan0 seems to be some sort of software driver. Its
manfacturer code
is in a range (16:) reserved
for private devices.

Your wlan0 is actually manufactured by Hon Hai Precision
Ind. Co.,
Ltd. (probably under license).


Vmaster? I have no clue. The only reference I've ever
seen has to do with
sound control in the linux kernel. Its almost like network
setup is
picking up some
oddball devices an thinking they are network cards.


I wonder if you could post output of lspci ?
