http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903525 --- Comment #4 from David Kronlid --- Now I've tried the 13.2 "stable" releases. Live KDE DVD 13.2 release: A "miracle" has happened. On OpenSUSE 13.2 Live KDE DVD wlan works fine now! (Just like with 13.1 Live KDE) Full install DVD 13.2 release: The full installation DVD of 13.2 however produces an installation where neither wlan nor automatic updates work like they should. At least now the whole installation doesn't hang during device config like RC1 and beta, which is a small improvement. 1 - During installation I can use wlan to connect to repos and install fresh packages, so everything seems fine there. The only slight problem is that a repo says it's 13.1, but that is probably only a text error that is easy to fix. 2 - But after the reboot wlan doesn't work. The icon in the lower right corner shows that wlan is enabled, but the wlan-led on the computer is shut off. It's not possible to configure wlan in the graphical interface, nor to search for available networks. 3 - If I connect the lan cable I have limited network usability, for example I can use Firefox to browse webpages and I can run Zypper up in bash, but I can't do automatic updates through the icon in the lower right corner of the screen. The error message is in my language and says something about "the user not allowed" or "permissions are absent" (this is how I remember the error message right now, not to be seen as a correct translation). Apparently there has been some network changes in 13.2, which makes it a little bit more difficult for me to pinpoint the real cause of the errors. Is it this laptop's wlan or is it the change to wicked, or a configuration in the installation medium? Others also report network problems in the forum with the 13.2 release, and probably hundreds more experience network problems and just give up and switch to another Linux distro without reporting bugs or asking questions on the forum. In my opinion you should release a 13.2.1 or 13.2a soon where you fix the network problems. Problems like these will scare away a lot of people to other distros if they aren't fixed quickly. I will gladly help you to search for the cause of the errors I'm experiencing, however when I do so I will be working in 13.2 now (no longer beta or RC1) and for natural reasons I will most of the time have no internet connection, and only sometimes be able to have limited internet accessibility when I'm trying things. (If my kids are not at home I can connect a network cable and thus use firefox) I would need a list of network related commands that work with 13.2% -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903525 --- Comment #7 from David Kronlid --- Takashi Iwai, no problem I'll give you the needed info. Before my last message I just tested the KDE Live DVD and then installed the new 13.2 to be able to test further and to give you hwinfo outputs from the correct distro. I just had to take care of the kids in between my messages here, they need to eat and sleep so my posting of the file was delayed, sorry. What information do you exactly need from the hwinfo? The output is 700kB, and less than 0,1% of it has anything to do with the wlan and the file contains a lot of info that could help a hacker to access my computer or a state to monitor my traffic, now and in the future, so I don't want to post it all here for everybody on the internet to see, sorry. What more info specifically do you need? hwinfo in 13.2 gives more details about the broadcom chip, it might possibly be related to this forum post (I think): https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/484106-Broadcom-firmware-is-neede... The relevant wlan parts: 15: PCI 200.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.328] Hardware Class: network Model: "Broadcom BCM43225 802.11b/g/n" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x4357 "BCM43225 802.11b/g/n" SubVendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" SubDevice: pci 0x04da Revision: 0x01 Driver: "bcma-pci-bridge" Driver Modules: "bcma" Device File: wlp2s0 Features: WLAN IRQ: 17 (no events) Link detected: no WLAN channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 WLAN frequencies: 2.412 2.417 2.422 2.427 2.432 2.437 2.442 2.447 2.452 2.457 2.462 Driver Info #0: Driver Status: bcma is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe bcma" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #7 (PCI bridge) However, the problem doesn't seem to be entirely hardware/driver related, because the autoupdate program should work together with the lan/eth even if the wlan doesn't work, but it doesn't work at all. And I didn't find the new service "wicked" running in the background instead I found the old network.service running even though it was a clean install and as I understand the short info after the release only wicked should run now. But maybe I spelled the wicked service wrong and forgot the "double d", I'll check again next time I start up 13.2 and see if I can find the info I need about the network related services. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
