??? i did

Enthalpie · September 20, 2012, 3:29pm

Hi
And what about a solution ?

Enthalpie · September 20, 2012, 7:24pm

Hi
I still try to understand and may be find a solution
I have remove all packages witch are not from standard distribution (compat , hardware… and so on) I have only now from yast :
Kernel 3.1.10.16.1
This kernel give rtl8192se.ko
but now kernel does’nt launch module and so i can’t use wireless with networkmanager ou ifconfig
if i ask with lsmod i got that

HP620-linux:~ # lsmod | grep rtl8192se
rtl8192se 104027 0
rtlwifi 115190 1 rtl8192se
mac80211 332552 2 rtl8192se,rtlwifi

looks like module is launch ??

please help me

Yes, the driver is loaded. Launching a kernel module is not a valid concept.
Programs in user space are launched, modules, which are in kernel space, are loaded.

You are likely to have more success with compat-wireless. The rtl8192se driver
was first added in kernel 3.0, and a lot of changes have been made since 3.1.

Please post the output of ‘/use/sbin/rfkill list’, and ‘sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan’.

Enthalpie · September 20, 2012, 8:20pm

Hi
first thank’ s for help
I did’nt have the two programs so i have installed then
first rfkill

HP620-linux:/usr/sbin # rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
4: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

second iwlist

iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn’t support scanning.

eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.

i can install compat drivers if you want but how can i be sure the module from compat will be launch instead of the standard kernel module?
regards

Enthalpie · September 20, 2012, 8:33pm

hi
I just re installed compat drivers , so now in yast i have two packages which give to me trl8192se module but i still can’t see wifi in networkmanager ?? and i don’t know which module is launch

regards

Enthalpie · September 20, 2012, 10:54pm

Hi
I have re installed kernel-firmware version 2011025-git. now i see wlan

the iwlist command give that

HP620-linux:/usr/sbin # iwlist scan

If you messed with the policies, then who knows what is now wrong. Once you got
the firmware installed, then an NM configuration should have worked.

deano_ferrari · September 21, 2012, 6:43am

If you messed with the policies, then who knows what is now wrong. Once you got
the firmware installed, then an NM configuration should have worked.

I think the OP is using the word ‘policies’ when they actually just mean NM ‘settings’, in particular connection secrets. I don’t think they are referring to ‘polkit’ policies.

@Enthalpie: I suggest starting over with the network management configuration for your wireless connection. Are you using KDE, Gnome (or other) desktop? The answer to this will modify the advice given.

Enthalpie · September 21, 2012, 8:42am

as i said now i did’nt have any more error messages from policies but i can’t connect to wifi without error messages

One more precision
when i am root i did’nt need password for connection but when i am user i need password for connection. and i give root password (tree time) and after to connection is droped. I am sur the password is good so looks like a bug in policies.
