I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, and cannot get wifi working on it under OpenSuse 12.1 (now with a Tumbleweed kernel), but OpenSuse cannot drive the wifi. This laptop has an Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor, and Windows 7 drives the wifi flawlessly, claiming it is a Centrino-N 2200 device (if memory serves, I'll send a correction if this is wrong). Neither Opensuse 12.1 nor the upgraded kernel worked, they gave the messages: [code]
Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.175154] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-2000-5.ucode' failed. Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.175253] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: no suitable firmware found! Jul 2 13:48:29 linux kernel: [ 13.175466] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
Would the maintainers please be so kind as ensure that the microcode is installed in /lib/firmware as per the hints at: http://mtekk.us/archives/guides/fixing-request-for-firmware-file-failed/ OpenSuse does use modules, however please note that there is now iwlwifi-2000-*.ucode module, where * wildcards the version number, in /lib/firmware. Downloading and installing the iwlwifi-2000-*.ucode (in my case * = 6) from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads into /lib/firmware fixed the problem with the tumbleweed kernel. I have not reverted to Opensuse 12.1 yet, so that kernel remains untested, but the Tumbleweed kernel 3.4.30 appears to work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
