http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956403 Bug ID: 956403 Summary: Installation system turns off wireless (why? WHY?) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: silviu_marin-caea@otpbank.ro QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I'm trying to install 42.1 on a HP Compaq nx7400 laptop. This machine has a hardware button that can turn WiFi on and off. It also has a blue LED indicator for this. I wrote the Network Installation .iso to an USB stick and proceeded to install, the plan was to do it over wireless. Early on the installation, the WiFi is turned off, remains off and then the installation system complains that it cannot get an IP. That stupid hardware button does not work anymore to turn WiFi on again. I have to go to BIOS and reset to defaults to get WiFi back. Why would 42.1 turn off WiFi? I have 13.2 installed on this laptop and it did not do that. The wireless board is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
