Kernel 2.6 in the latest tumbleweed snapshot causes problems on Toshiba Satellite L775D laptops. The end symptom is that the wireless NIC does not work (Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)).
Looking the logs, it looks like there are multiple processes seg faulting, starting with panel-10-power, rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_get_hw_reg(), wpa_supplicant, etc.
Switching back to kernel 4.5.4-1 makes the wifi work again. Is anyone else seeing similar issues with kernel 4.6?
Thank you in advance for your help,
A patch to fix the a bug in 4.6 has been submitted for 4.7, and it will be backported to 4.6 when it reaches mainline.
Note that, although backporting through stable tree is ideal, it's also acceptable to backport it beforehand to openSUSE kernel if the patch has been already merged in (subsystem) maintainer's tree, too.
But we need a Bugzilla entry above all.
thanks,
Takashi
Thanks Larry and Takashi, good to know a patch is in the works. I will wait for patch to be released via official channels. Do I still need to open a bugzilla entry for this? --Moby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
