https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799937 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799937#c0 Summary: The kernel-firmware package is outdated Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 12.3 Beta 1 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 The current kernel-firmware package has a date of 20120719; however, a number of firmware changes have been made since then. In fact, the latest update of the linux-firmware git repo was made 20130114. I noticed this because the firmware for the Realtek RTL8723AE, which was added to linux-firmware on 20120820, is missing in a 12.3-Beta1 installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: The dmesg log reports: rtl8723e-0:rtl8723e_init_sw_vars():<0-0> Failed to request firmware! rtlwifi-0:rtl_pci_probe():<0-0> Can't init_sw_vars. Expected Results: I then manually copied the firmware, and it was loaded. -- 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.
