openSUSE Forums: Change of wlan and kernel driver

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

Change of wlan and kernel driver Feb 9th 2013, 14:44 I have an HP dv7 7250 laptop which uses an Intel Centrino N2230 wlan.The firmware is the iwlwifi driver with Kernel 3.4.11. This works ok but it is a single band device and I am getting interference, so I want to change it to a dual band N-6230 wlan. I am using openSUSE 12.2.and I would appreciate some advice when I change the wlan. Will it be as simple as doing a 'modprobe' to the new wlan driver, ( -the driver is still iwlwifi although the ucode is different), or would I have to reinstall the kernel? Thank you w.
