Whatever it's called, it's there on the 12.1 Live CD and not the installed version. As for the firmware, yes, I know it's not being loaded. I included the dmesg info in my bug report. The WiFi also works with the Live CD, but again the KNetworkManager widget that appears on the bar does not enable WiFi. If I use the ifup method, instead of KNetworkManager, I can connect to my WiFi here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Bug number?
Did you find/read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/836865 ? What does rfkill report? Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No. I don't use Ubuntu. However, WiFi works on the Live CD. Rfkill list all shows: "0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

But you use Linux. Thus searching for bugs on google does help, even if the bug was reported by somebody using a different distro.
There you go. Your wlan is blocked and the block can apperently not be removed by networkmanager Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Also, I've once again booted from the Live CD. When I go into Network Devices, after setting it for the traditional Ifup method, on the overview tab, I can see the "Ethernet Network Card" and "Realtek WLAN controller Not configured" listed. When I run the installed version, the Realtek WLAN controller is not listed at all. Even if I manually try to add a wireless adapter and enter the appropriate module to load, I still have no WiFi. Dmesg shows the rtl8192ce modules are loaded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
