So why am I now having to execute these manual steps after using Yast to set up wlan0? Can't say that looking through log files has been very helpful either and I am starting to get a bit out of my league here. I just want to be able to rely on Yast to set up my network interfaces. I haven't tried setting eth0 yet, will await for any helpful ideas first, before spinning my wheels with eth0.
Thanks as always, in advance, for any help offered, I much appreciate it especially when I have wandered off into some sort of quagmire like this issue that suddenly sprung up on me! Marc C. Hi Marc,
you are really using YaST to manage your wicked config - essentially a text file:
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0
Let us the contents of that, maybe obscure the wifi password.
I think it might also be useful if you start with 'ifdown wlan0' so we have a known starting point. Then try to activate the network interface with 'ifup wlan0' and let us see what 'ip addr show dev wlan0' says after that.
If there is any problem connecting to the access point, 'dmesg' might show some interesting messages.
Thanks Per, and can do -
marcslaptop:/var/log # ifdown wlan0 wlan0 device-ready marcslaptop:/var/log # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 MTU='0' BOOTPROTO='dhcp' STARTMODE='auto' ZONE='internal' WIRELESS_ESSID='ChamberlinCupola' WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='psk' WIRELESS_MODE='managed' WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='0' marcslaptop:/var/log # ifup wlan0 wlan0 setup-in-progress marcslaptop:/var/log # ip addr show dev wlan0 3: wlan0:
mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether e4:a7:a0:46:83:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The only thing dmesg shows that is related to the wi-fi wlan0 interface is -
[92283.790584] wlan0: deauthenticating from 98:de:d0:f9:93:ca by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) [92389.805091] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Applying debug destination EXTERNAL_DRAM [92389.979695] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Applying debug destination EXTERNAL_DRAM [92390.060594] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: FW already configured (0) - re-configuring
The MAC address 98:de:d0:f9:93:ca is for the 'ChamberlinCupola' access point. HTH's to understand what is going on with my wlan0 setup process...
