Often HP uses Wlan Chips not supported by default of the kernel, so please post her: /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net This will show the ID of the Chip and which driver is used. Stephan Am Samstag, 10. Juli 2021, 17:33:43 CEST schrieb Wolfgang Mueller:
My new computer is an
HP 15s-eq2147 FHD RYZ5-5 16GB 512 SSD DOS
It has no cable connection to the internet, but only access via WiFi. Installing Leap 15.3 was no problem, but so far I did not manage to establish a WiFi connection.
Using Yast, I set up a wicked service with fixed address, getting this list:
Device Name: wlan0 Configured with address 192.168.2.16/24 (acer.ariannuccia.zz) Starting automatically on cable connection
I find it somewhat absurd that a cable connection is required even for WiFi. Since I have no cable connection, I am looking for a work around. Any idea?
The "Authentication Mode" offers these 5 options:
No Encryption WEP - Open WEP - Shared Key WPA-EAP ("enterprise") WPA-PSK ("home")
On my router (192.168.2.1) there are these "Encryption type":
Unencrypted (not recommended) WPA2 (very secure) WPA / WPA2 (secure) WPA (secure)
For avoiding problems with the correspondence of these methods, I have selected "No Encryption" on my computer and "Unencrypted (not recommended)" on my router.
But the connection does not work. Any attempt to ping the router from the new computer is rejected with the reply:
connect: Network is unreachable
Any help would be welcome.
Thank you in advance and best regards, Wolfgang
