[Bug 727234] New: Installation process does not install kernel-firmware package when needed
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727234 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727234#c0 Summary: Installation process does not install kernel-firmware package when needed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jbruguera@itechgrup.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User Blocker: No Just installed 12.1 on a thinkpad t420 laptop which has a Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 05), this wifi card isn't showed in yast lan module and isn't configured of course. After some googling seems this wifi network device needs to load some firmware found in the kernel-firmware package. With openSUSE 11.4 this was automated, so I open this bugfix request. -- 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.

After insatlling this package and rebooting, the card was detected and directly usable from gnome3 network manager. -- 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.

But kernel-firmware provides just this kind of dependencies (taken from "rpm -q --provides kernel-firmware" output): .. firmware(iwlwifi-100-5.ucode) firmware(iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode) firmware(iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode) firmware(iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode) .. No idea how can be these requirements added to the package manager... Michael, any idea? It's also strange that in 11.4 it was OK... -- 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.

Question would be if, in absence off the kernel-firmware package, 'zypper install-new-recommends' would have selected it. If not, it might be some hardwaredep missing. In doubt it might be helpful so send the list of modaliases found on the system to check whether kernel-firmware should have been matching. A command to get them would be: find /sys -name modalias | xargs grep . >/tmp/modaliases (The file will contain '/sys/PATH/modalias:MODALIAS' lines. kernel-firmware should have been selected, if a modalias template supplemented by kernel- firmware matches (shell glob) a MODALIAS in the above list. And of course kernel-firmware must not be involved in some dependency conflict) -- BUT be sure it is not related to bug #721810 - "Ignore recommended packages for already installed packages". In the log I see some 'ignorealreadyrecommended=1' during installation. This disables hardware dependencies, as it's an always-installed-system-peudo-package which would recommend the supplementing kernel-firmware 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.
