no internet connection after install opensuse 11.2

English Network/Internet
1

Hello,
first I am sorry for my english.

I have problem after install opensuse 11.2 on lenovo R61. I have no connection to internet, although on liveCD (opensuse 11.2) is internet connection functional. In ubuntu or opensuse 11.1 was all OK, connection was functional.

  • at DSL Configuration / Ethernet Card is Unknown device
  • in hardware is Card: 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection (eth0)
  • modprobe wl write it FATAL: Module wl not found.

Thank you very much for all help, on czech forum I get no help:(:’(

I have a R61 but older and all my hardware works. Your devices are:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection [8086:104d] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:20ba]

Neither of these is familiar to me.
And there are lots of Lenovo R61 models.
Have look here. I notice your wireless device mentioned in one part using ndiswrapper:
HCL/Laptops/IBM - openSUSE

ndiswrapper info here: from @swerdna
Madwifi or Ndiswrapper Wireless Network Drivers - Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 - LAN & Internet access

Many thanks for help.
I used at this r61 opensuse 11 and 11.1, and there was no problem with internet connection.
Only with opensuse 11.2 64bit have I no ethernet connection, I can try 32bit version.

I think, that there is some problem with Network manager. At opensuse start is there some message about not functional network manager??

I am not using ndiswrapper, I have no products from microsoft.
Ethernet connection was OK with livecd opensuse 11.2, after installation is it nonfunctional (I tried it three times and used two different live cd) :frowning:

Have you tried configuration in Yast?

In network manager don’t use Hidden SSID, I use WPA personal security and it all works perfectly.
There have been issues with network manager but not now AFAIK

Hey, just registered an account here because I’ve been following this (and other similars) thread, and finally came out with half a solution that I’d like to share with you and anyone who gets frustrated by the same trouble.

First of all, known bugs are TWO and different:

  • KNetworkManager routes bug.
  • KNetworkManager enable wireless bug.

The first one is, as said in this thread, fixed in the updated release of KNetworkManager.
The question everyone seems to ask is: “how can I get the update since I have no network???”. That is part of the true. Actually, with cable connection at least, disabled IvP6 and given KNetworkManager to manage connections, we DO HAVE a connection to the router.
What we do not have, is a nameserver lookup. So basically, we can not access google.com. But if we try with Google’s IP (Google)… Ta-daaaaa!

SO, back to the point: how can we get the update? In YAST, just edit the update repository and change download.opensuse.org into 195.135.221.130.
As easy as it is. Skip other repos, you’ll be able to get them later, when the net is up and working.

Now just start all the updates from YAST, then reboot.

Ok, we got it: wired connection with DNS lookup.

Now the second bug: we can connect through our cable, but we can not “enable wireless” (grey disabled option on KNetworkManager menu). No enables, no connections.
The funny thing is this is just a non-fixable bug; chances are that if you can not “enable wireless”:
a) you have no wireless adapters connected. > Connect one.
b) you are on a laptop, with wireless adapter turned off. > Turn it on.
c) you are on desktop/laptop with TWO wireless adapters. Maybe the first one integrated (with its own on/off switch), the other just an USB with no switches.

Well, if you’re the C case, take off the USB/PCMCIA adapter, just turn on the integrated wlan, wait 5 seconds and… Ta-daaaaaa! Wireless is up and running.

Still not enabled? Ok, try with “ifconfig wlan0 up”, maybe your wlan adapter is still sleeping. Wait 5 seconds again and… Well, ta-daaaaaa! Wireless is finally running.

Seems like KNetworkManager requires that if ONE adapter has a on/off switch, BOTH adapters have to got an on/off switch, otherwise no chances to enable wireless.

THAT is insane.
Don’t come back to 11.1, just follow the previous lines and you all will be ok. Gonna post this on other threads like this.

Peace.

This is absolutely not true, otherwise my RTL8187L, RTL8187B AND my p54usb
would never work as my BCM4312 is in a PCIe slot. What is true is that if one of
your devices has a switch and the driver for that device is loaded, then that
rfkill switch must be on, or none of the devices will work.

Hello,
thanks for all help. I think, that probably the same bug is solve here:No Internet browsing with opensuse 11.2 x86-64 XEN - openSUSE Forums

I used successfuly wifi connection today (I have laptop few days in servis), but ethernet is nonfunctional. The next, what is nonfunctional, is suspend to ram. After awakening is screen black, but laptot probably works? Both things was fully functional at opensuse 11.1:frowning: I feel bad about it:(

2 caf4926: I don’t make any changes in YAST…

2 angeloVanilla: I can try it, I am ageless apprentice in LINUX and I don’t know, if I make it. I don’t understand all what you wrote:(

At worst I can try other distros with KDE, to next opensuse release/version:(

10

stupid question…but…where can I get KNetworkManager? Do I need install it or just find it in yast?

11

Internet Manager get installed automatically when you install 11.2.
OpenSuse 11.2 with laptop does not connect to Internet.But the same laptop will connect using Opensuse 11.1. OpenSuse 11.1 is the GREEN Version.So I decided to stay with the GREEN, until we see Opensuse 11.3.
Thanks

If you use kde and network manager is not in the sys tray
Go to Start > Applications > System > Desktop Applet

It is in there

13

I have this problem of not being able to access the Internet in 11.2, but doubt that it is this bug, as I can access the Internet as root.

When I am logged in as normal user, I can access the router, but not the internet.

I tried substituting the IP address as suggested, but as normal user I do not have access to the Internet, so this did not help.

Do you still think that this may be solved with an update to networkmanager?

14

It’s nothing to do with needing an update.
It’s all about user settings.

You should NOT be logging in as root!
Fatal.

15

Update:

There seems to be something wrong with the user account created during the install. I created another user account (with default settings) and the Internet access worked fine. However, the original user account setup during the install still does not have Internet access. I do not see anything different between the two accounts settings.

16

Would not do this normally, but sometimes you just have to in order to test something! :wink:

Sorry but I have never logged in like this.
