Problems with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 in openSUSE 12.1

Hi!

I have just installed openSUSE and now I am unable to get my wireless network to work.

I have tried to follow the steps in both the stickied threads, and got the following results:

/sbin/lspci: 08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 0887 (rev c4)
/sbin/lspci -n: 08:00.0 8086:0887 (rev c4)

When trying dmesg|less, I initially received the message that firmware iwlwifi-2030-5.ucode needed to be installed. As per this thread http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/477491-wireless-intel-802-11-b-g-n-bluetooth-hp-dvdt-7000-quad-edition-series-machine.html I installed the latest firmware (2030-6) and compat-wireless. As far as I can tell, dmesg|less no longer gives any messages about the wireless working or not, however it still doesn’t.

The /usr/sbin/iwconfig command gives the following output:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

In YaST=>hardware=>hardware information I can find the device under network card, as well as under pci. I am unable to find any udi-line. After having installed the firmware I get no mention of it being missing from dmesg|grep firmware. I am unable to find System Logs under YaST=>miscellaneous.

The command sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan gives the following results:

lo Interface doesn’t support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.

Thanks in advance!

Unless you get a wlan0 device with iwconfig, you have not gotten the driver
loaded and attached to the device. I suggest that you capture the dmesg output
with a ‘dmesg > dmesg.out’, and post the file dmesg.out in a pastebin someplace,
and post the link here.

Thanks for your reply!

Here’s a link to the output: dmesg.out - Pastebin.com

Not sure if this is any help, but copying the YaST-info about the wireless to a file I found this:

Trying to run “sudo /sbin/modprobe iwlwifi” in the konsole, however, results in the following output:

That same info was in your dmesg output as the following:

12.223442] ifup[533]: Service network not started and mode ‘auto’ -> skipping
12.315384] mac80211: Unknown symbol simple_open (err 0)
12.325585] mac80211: Unknown symbol simple_open (err 0)

I have no idea how you got to this state, but your kernel and the module
mac80211 are not compatible. That should never happen unless you did some manual
kernel file manipulation. The only command that might fix it is


sudo /sbin/depmod -ae

As far as I know I have done no such thing. The proposed command doesn’t seem to fix anything, is there nothing else I can do?

Can you reinstall the kernel-desktop package? That might help.

Hi,
I have working wifi with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN but i cant get bluetooth working. System wont see any bluetooth adapter. checked in terminal with rfkill list and got following result:

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

Any ideas how to get bluetooth work?

Using latest Opensuse 13.1 with KDE desktop on Lenovo Ideapad S400

Have you read the release notes?

Hi,
Can you specify what release notes you mean?
My Ideapad is model MAY4PGE and it should have WiFi+Bluetooth combo card according to specifications (see here). Or is there something i have misundersand?
