https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327549 Summary: after-installation network hardware configuration wizard Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Not, not a wizard in MS-paper-clip style or something like this :-) STORY: ===== Here is my problem (solved already) -- I installed (KDE CD) opensuse 10.3 on laptop with broadcom wireless card. It was detected correctly, everything was set up nicely, package for this card was installed, even loading module was done automatically. So far -- just great. But wifi didn't work thought. So I had to google on _another_ computer to find out the last step -- downloading firmware for that card. So I unplug this computer, plugged in the new one, type one command, waited 3 seconds, and voila, wifi worked. You can say it was easy, yes it was -- but note, I had to use the second computer (it is not that usual to have two computers for my use) OR I had to know in advance what to do and have access (cable) to the net. Again, not so usual. WISH: ==== It would be great to add some wizard (to KDE, knetworkmanager?) that detects missing configuration/firmware and then kicks in and suggest what user has to do manually to finish setting properly his/her wifi card. Without such wizard the user is misinformed a bit -- KNM for example shows no AP found, superficially it looks like wireless card is working (you can turn it on and off), so unexperienced user could think it is a bad reception. -- 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.

The problem is my card was recognized, installed, but didn't work. The reason for that was -- there was no firmware loaded. And my wish is to inform user about firmware loading -- it is more useful than using google to find out why network card is not working (note: user could not have experience, me :-), and know she/he has to load firmware at all). -- 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.
