[Bug 716652] New: Configuration of wireless network interface during installation is OK, but network connection does not work
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716652 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716652#c0 Summary: Configuration of wireless network interface during installation is OK, but network connection does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 During the installation of openSUSE 12.1 M5 on a laptop with a wireless interface one can configure the wireless interface. It is left in the default to use the Network Manager. On the screen with the configuration one gets the message that the interface has been set-up with DHCP without encryption. So clicking to configure the interface, one is able to configure it as WPA-PSK and enter the proper passphrase. However later the test of a network connection fails. After <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F2> one can see the status of the network interfaces and only lo appears. There is no wlan0. After finishing the installation one has to configure the network again using the networkmanager-applet. There is nothing available from the configuration during installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Either do not offer the possibility to set-up the network and the offer to test the network connection or make it work with a wireless interface. -- 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=716652 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716652#c1 --- Comment #1 from Freek de Kruijf <f.de.kruijf@gmail.com> 2011-09-09 13:43:51 UTC --- One possible cause is bug#716013 if the firewall is activated. Another possible cause is that the system is trying to set the wifi interface to power saving, which my interface is not supporting and results in an error message after which the interface is not set up any further. This was found by configuring the ifup traditional set up in which the parameter WIRELESS_POWER in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 was set to "no", which caused the error. After setting this parameter to "none", the interface is working. The interface shows itself as "AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter". -- 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.

Because the 'ifup-wireless' script returns an error, the DHCP client is not started. In '/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template' for 'WIRELESS_POWER' it says: " # Note, that this setting is not supported by all cards resp. drivers # and shall be tested before the user decides to set it. " However, nowhere is this tested. (Note that 'ifcfg.template' says '## Default: "none"', but the actual default is '""'.) In '/usr/share/YaST2/modules/LanItems.ycp' the 'WIRELESS_POWER' is always set to either 'no' or 'yes'. So when the 'Traditional Method with ifup' is used, YaST never sets 'WIRELESS_POWER' to ' "" ' nor ' "none" ' and 'iwconfig <iface> power ..' is always called. Error message: " # ifup wlan0 wlan0 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) command 'iwconfig wlan0 power period 2' returned Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. wlan0 warning: WPA configured, but is untested wlan0 warning: with this device wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant " Notes: - The power saving in the driver for the Intel 4965 AGN has been disabled in the version in openSUSE 12.1 M5, but was enabled in openSUSE 11.4. Workaround: Set ' WIRELESS_POWER="" ' in '/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0' and set this each time after you run 'YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings'. Attached Solution: If 'iwconfig <iface> power off' returns error 250, power saving is unsupported an the error is ignored. The patch tests for the error 250. And if iwconfig ever changes the error number for the 'unsupported operation' error, the ifup-wireless' script must be updated. -- 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.

This is typically a problem during installation from DVD or CD
Well, it may cause a problem while installation too, but it is not limited to the installation flow. It can be tested in a normal system using: /sbin/ifup wlan0 ; echo "return code: $?" or incl. collecting some trace output: { bash -x /sbin/ifup wlan0 ; echo "return code: $?"; } &>/tmp/ifup.wlan0.out Note, that an error message like: Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. from ifup-wireless will still occur -- but the error code will be not forwarded to ifup any more.
