After a clean install (not an upgrade) of openSUSE12.2 Milestone3 with KDE4, WiFi fails on restart. Wired works correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Assuming a clean install of openSUSE 12.2/M3. WiFi was not set up during installation. Booted to the KDE4 desktop, and no configuration changes made, everything is default post-install. 1. Click KNetworkManager icon in system tray. 2. Select WiFi network from the list. 3. Configure (enter WPA2 password). 4. Save and wait for connection. 5. Test connection is working correctly. 6. Reboot computer. Actual Results: On restart (step 6), WiFi does not connect. KNetworkManager shows a "no connection" icon. This no connection status persists over multiple reboots and/or logout/login. 1. Click KNetworkManager icon. 2. Scroll through available WiFi networks and the previously configured WiFi network is not displayed. 3. Click Manage Connections. 4. Select the previously configured WiFi network connection and click Delete. 5. Restart computer. 6. Click KNetworkManager icon in the system tray 7. Select and configure the WiFi network (after the delete and reboot the WiFi node is shown again) 8. Test and verify that WiFi is working. WiFi will continue to be available/working right up until a restart, and then again, the WiFi is no longer visible nor can it be connected to. Tested hardware: CPU=Intel Atom 1.6GHz GPU=Intel 945GME WiFi=AR9285 Tested in Gnome3 as well. If the WiFi issue failed in KDE4 and WiFi was not available after a reboot, logging out of KDE4 and logging in to Gnome 3 did not change anything. To get WiFi working in Gnome3, I had to log back in to KDE4, delete the KDE4 WiFi configuration, reboot, log in to Gnome3 and configure WiFi there. Once configured in Gnome3, the connection persists over reboots. Interestingly, after deleting ALL WiFi configuration in KDE4, rebooting, configuring WiFi in Gnome3, and then logging in to KDE4... WiFi works perfectly and persists in KDE4 over reboots. It only seems to fail when you try to configure in KDE4 first. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
