Hi
I upgrade my Opensuse to 13.2
my wireless USB card a TP-link WN727N is not working after that ?
the card is not detected

If this can help
I have try to configure network with yast instead of networkmanager
I got yjis error message when i try to add network wireless card
"undefined method ] for nilclass

With your usb wireless device plugged in, what it reported by the following comand?
usb-devices
*Look for the section pertaining to the wireless device
HP620-linux:/home/bernard # rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
2: hp-gps: GPS
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
could you help me ?

I note from the above that you also have an internal wireless device that is turned off (by switch or keyboard), and soft blocked as well. The soft-blocking may be preventing the external device as well perhaps? Anyway, you could try
rfkill unblock wifi
Then see if the external device is activated with a network interface present.
HI
the command usb-devices give that

yes i have turned off the internal wifi which is broken
so ??
The ‘usb-devices’ output shows that no supporting driver is loaded

The rt2800usb driver is not the correct driver for this chipset (148f:7601)
The following reference
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN727N_v4
suggests that there is a Mediatek driver (mt7601u_sta) available here, which you’ll need to compile
FWIW, here’s a user with the same hardware discussing the same
http://superuser.com/questions/774554/linux-unable-to-get-usb-wifi-drivers-to-work-or-compile
This may be useful to you:
Linux driver for MT7601U with patch for stability and performance on recent kernel versions

Good luck.
hi
thank’s for your answer !!
i will see. i am suprising because i had the same usb key, lookd like they have change the harware recently !
regards
I have try this method
I got module , the usb stick gies light and … the pc crashe !!!
when i try to compile the module i got this error message
make[3]: *** [_module_/home/download/opensuse/13.2/DPO/os/linux] Error 2

make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2

It looks like you’re close - the module is loaded and ‘ra0’ exists. Can you configure it? I think that you mentioned that you were using NetworkManager, try creating a connection there.
Hi
close but not arrived !!
as i said and i don’t know how first time i make mdule and load it i saw light goes on on wifi stick , but the pc crash.
now the module is loaded but even with yast2 or knetworkmanager i can’t arrive to connect. the green light on usb stick is not on and i can’t see wifi network. looks like before when i use rt2800usb !!
regards
Also i have try to compile patch with version 3.0.0.4 but i got and error message on make
and for exemple what i got wih iw commands
linux-2has:~/.local/share/Trash/files/DPO # iwlist ro0
iwlist: unknown command `ro0' (check 'iwlist --help').
linux-2has:~/.local/share/Trash/files/DPO # iwlist ra0

I’m out of my depth with this, so unless others can chime in, google may be your best friend here. Reading post #5 and #6 of this archlinux thread, it is mentioned that wpa_supplicant may be required. Anyway, maybe worthwhile checking that it is installed and running.
HI
thak’s for your help
wpa_suplicant is allready install so …
best regard
I begin to read and try to configute but … not like in book !!
for example the first step return that
linux-2has:/etc/wpa_supplicant # wpa_supplicant -B -i ra0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
rfkill: WLAN hard blocked
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
ra0: Failed to initialize driver interface
i still working on it
- I’m concerned about the ‘rfkill: WLAN hard blocked’ message. This usually means a device that is fully-switched off, but I don’t know if this relates to your onboard device. I know you disabled the onboard wireless, but I think if wifi is soft-blocked by rfkill, then AFAIU, no wireless device will be activated. Anyway, try to soft unblock with
rfkill unblock wifi
- Did you do
depmod -a
after the driver was installed? (Just in case there are module dependencies needed to be taken care of)
- If you have a windows environment available, it might be worthwhile to check the wireless device activation status there first.
hi
thank’s to take care of me
i have run depmod … nothing
i have run rfkill … nothing
I try ndiswrapper and when i install it i got !
linux-2has:/home/download/opensuse/13.2/WN727N/TL-WN727N_V4_131203/Driver Files/Windows7_64bit # ndiswrapper -l
netr28ux : invalid driver!
so i am tired !!
At this point, I’d be inclined to give up and choose a device that is supported by Linux.
