http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577735 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577735#c0 Summary: Wireless lan will not connect Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: linxt@comcast.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=341147) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=341147) copies of network related log files User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.1 Firefox/3.6 On a Dell Studio 1745 with Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100, I can't get a wireless connection to my Linksys WRT54G router. I have tried all modes:WEP, WPA, WPA2_PSK, even open. I tried this with NetworkManager, Wicd, and manual (iwconfig) without result. This laptop/wireless card and router worked properly under openSUSE 11.2. Modprobe finds the "iwlagn" driver loaded. Wicd returned the error "could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface" after login. NetworkManager did not show a desktop error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt to connect to network with lan cable disconnected. 2.Connection fails. 3.Revert to ethernet cable connection. Actual Results: NetworkManager attempted wireless connection but was unsuccessful. Wicd daemon failed to connect to D-Bus interface and stopped. Manual configuration failed in all modes. Expected Results: All methods should have connected to wireless network Hardware: Dell Studio 1745, x86_64, Intel Wifi 5100 Kernel driver: iwlagn Linux laptop 2.6.32-3-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-12-04 00:41:46 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Configurated to be used with network manager. (ifup/ifdown is not a normal solution for me. :/ Not for wifi!)
Sure, but it would be good to know where the problem is.
rfkill list all 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes
Now the the wifi is "Hard blocked" with the switch.
Now i turn on the wifi and activate it on network manager: iwconfig <snip> rfkill list all 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no
You turned the wifi on and it is no more "Hard blocked" but it is "Soft blocked". I believe this is a network manager (NM) bug in rfkill handling. NM sets wrong state to the Soft rfkill. The same way you can switch the wifi on/off with the switch a program can switch the wifi on/off via API. In this point if you issue # rfkill unblock all <enter> the wifi starts working.
Network manager says that "the device is not ready" and still not list the APN near me.
Now the problem is clear, thank you for the information. I have to ask to re-assign to maintainer of the NetworkManager. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
