Hi! I’m new with suse and I’m having some troubles with my wifi connection. It used to work but it suddently… didn’t.
OpenSuse Ver: 13.2
I’ve tried several commands which prove the card is found and plugged to the PCI.
lshw -C network
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Ethernet controller
product: AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network Adapter
vendor: Qualcomm Atheros
physical id: 1
bus info: pci@0000:03:01.0
version: 01
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm cap_list
configuration: latency=168 maxlatency=12 mingnt=10
resources: memory:eebf0000-eebfffff
My network is managed by wicked, and when I check my config on YaST says the following:
AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network AdapterBusID : 0000:03:01.0
Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.
Now I remember it used to work, and there was another interface (called wlp3s1) which doesn’t appear anymore. I tried to add a new wireless device (wlan0) which doesn’t appear when I try the commands iwlist or ifconfig.
linux-mqsv:~ # iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
enp1s0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
linux-mqsv:~ # ifconfig

Also dmesg returns the following error
dmesg | grep ath

11.551863] ath5k: phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
11.552826] ath5k: probe of 0000:03:01.0 failed with error -5
ath5k is active and rfkill is blocking nothing.
I don’t know where the problem could be. Any suggestions?
