Hello All:
I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, and cannot get wifi working on it under OpenSuse 12.1 (now with a Tumbleweed kernel), but OpenSuse cannot drive the wifi. This laptop has an Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor, and Windows 7 drives the wifi flawlessly, claiming it is a Centrino-N 2200 device (if memory serves, I'll send a correction if this is wrong). For full disclosure, I filed an OpenSuse 12.1 bug report at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769678, here I'm requesting a fix in Tumbleweed.
Tumbleweed picks up fixes that are checked into the different packages and moved to their "stable" locations already, there are no Tumbleweed-specific fixes.
It looks like you need to get those firmware files added to the kernel-firmware package, hopefully the owner of that package can do that. When that happens, then Tumbleweed will be updated wth the fix in it.
The current version of the firmware is iwlwifi-2000-6.ucode - the 6 refers to the API version used by the firmware. This is what is in the newest linux-firmware git tree, from which the kernel-firmware package is derived. You can get that with the command git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git Of course, you will need to have installed the git package. To get a version of a driver that uses this firmware, get a copy of the compat-wireless package for your kernel.
