https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331930 Summary: Fatal error while activating rtl8187 kernel module wireless device Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gilles.sabourin@free.fr QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I own an asus p5k-e wifi/ap motherboard with an embedded Realtek 8187 chipset. So, I have installed rtl8187-kmp-default-20070806_2.6.22.5_31-2 kernel module bundled with opensuse 10.3 and see that this network card is not detected in yast. In a terminal, I decided to check myself the status of this device : linux-rny4:~ # lsmod | grep rtl8187 linux-rny4:~ # [nothing] linux-rny4:~ # modprobe rtl8187 FATAL: Error inserting rtl8187 (/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/updates/rtl8187.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) linux-rny4:~ # dmesg .. .. .. rtl8187: Unknown symbol eeprom_93cx6_multiread rtl8187: Unknown symbol eeprom_93cx6_read linux-rny4:~ # I haven't read anything in release notes about that problem. Moreover, I took also this driver from a subversion repository at https://rtl-wifi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rtl-wifi/ , and I am not able to compile it. Seems that the compiler is more and more requiring on the syntax. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331930#c3 Gilles Sabourin changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |gilles.sabourin@free.fr --- Comment #3 from Gilles Sabourin 2007-11-09 12:23:12 MST --- I have an answer, got from a deutsch forum : eeprom_93cx6 is a missing firmware which is needed to work with rtl8187 driver. in fact, rtl8187-kmp-default-20070806_2.6.22.5_31-2 depends on rt2x00-kmp-default-2.0.6+git20070816_2.6.22.5_31-2 package which provides "as others" needed /lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/updates/eeprom_93cx6.ko firmware. The dependency is missing, as it should have been installed automatically. Anyway, this driver does not work with WPA ciphering; after wireless configuration : linux-rny4:/etc/sysconfig/network # ifup wlan0 wlan0 wlan0 warning: WPA configured but may be unsupported wlan0 warning: by this device wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - Starting DHCP Client Daemon on wlan0... . . . . . no IP address yet... backgrounding. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331930#c4 Gilles Sabourin changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |NEW Info Provider|bela.pichler@gmail.com | --- Comment #4 from Gilles Sabourin 2007-11-12 07:44:01 MST --- The comment above provides the needed information. Anyway, the NEEDINFO status should be set up only by the assignee. The project manager could believe the bug has already been assigned since the status is not "NEW". The right information is that package rtl8187-kmp family depends on rt2x00-kmp family which provides the firmware. In my opinion, there are 2 ways to correct : - The right dependency link from rtl8187-kmp-xxxx on rt2x00-kmp-xxxx has to be provided; or : - The "eeprom_93cx6.ko" firmware could be packaged separatly from rt2x00-kmp-xxxx drivers which a dependency from rtl8187-kmp-xxxx on eeprom_93cx6 package -- 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.

However, since everything seems to be in mainline for 11.0, I doubt that we fix this issue for 10.3 if there's an easy workaround which means to install a package manually. However, that's not in my area, reassigning to hschaa from the mobile devices team which took over the work from jg which was the maintainer of the packages in 10.3 times. -- 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.

Fixed in 11.0. -- 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.
