Hello openSUSE folks, Just did a fresh install of openSUSE 11.3 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop today. Everything works but my wireless connection. I'm using Realtek provided driver for my Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n chipset. It worked perfectly in the previous openSUSE 11.2 installation. I tried to troubleshoot why it isn't working in 11.3 When I execute ifup wlan0 it gives me this type of message:
Starting wpa_supplicant
nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
Failed to initialize driver interface
I'm using desktop kernel. May be something relevant to my case was disabled in it? Should I change it to the plain kernel?
Thank you in advance for any help or hints.
Alex I also have a Toshiba Satellite with the same chip. The latest driver from Realtek was installed manually by downloading it from the product support site. WiFi cannot be activated using yast as an ip address cannot be obtained. The only way is to remove all settings from yast and to manually activate the connection using iwconfig and dhclient.
Has anyone been able to activate the connection at boot and if so any hints will be appreciated? Thanks. Sudhir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
