Hi everyone, I just picked up a new/used Dell XPS 13 9350 and I have installed Leap on it, dual boot, from an installation stick. The first thing I need to do in order to get it to run effectively is to get the network running.
I am reading a lot about getting networks running, and there seems to be some conflicting information, but here is the gist.
Since broadcom drivers are not packaged with opensuse, I have to get them from packman.
Here is my hardware: # hwinfo --netcard 24: PCI 3a00.0: 0280 Network controller [Created at pci.366] Unique ID: wEmM.V+SdiVP1_e1 Parent ID: QSNP.vlzHRHZSxX0 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:3a:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:3a:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Broadcom Network controller" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x43a3 You need kernel 4.4 or above.
Ok, I need to get that kernel. How do I find and install kernel 4.4? I have never messed with kernels before, and have only used the ones available in the regular repositories. On my main laptop that I am using now, I am using kernel 4.1. I have only updated the kernel when it came out as part of a regular update using zypper patch or zypper up. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | Gnome new | Core i5?? | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
