Hi All,
I installed 13.2 today on my laptop while the same wired network was plugged in that I use every day. The network wasn't properly detected, or at least it wasn't properly configured during installation, because adding the online repositories and downloading updates failed.
After booting the installed system, it still does not work properly. I can connect to the router (192.168.1.1) but not to the Internet.
The same holds true for the wireless connection if I enable it. The router passphrase prompt appears but the system can't connect to the Internet after I enter it.
For the record, this system has had Vista64, openSUSE 12.3 and Mint 17 installed in parallel up to today and this network connection in all three cases has always 'just worked.' This leads me to believe that the problem is unique to the 13.2 installer. [pruned]
I have had no troubles with INSTALLING 13.2 on either the laptop (ThinkPad) or the desktop - and both were done using wired network. (Had some hassles with 13.2 AFTER installation but nothing to do with networking. #) After installing it on the laptop the wi-fi worked perfectly and the system was updated with all the latest using zypper. You state that you did a clean install of 13.2 but you don't mention what you used for this install: was it the DVD or the KDE Live disc (or an upgrade from 13.1)? (#) I have now installed/re-installed 13.2 on at least 4 occasions and have not had the networking hassle you mention. But I am installing from the "Gold" DVD release.
