Hi, I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 and the wi - fi conection doesn’t work, but with Ubuntu worked without problem. What can I do to get wi-fi connection working on this distribution again?.Thank you very much!!!
Please post the output in code of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
You should also go to the wireless forum and read the stickies. Among the things
you will learn is why “WiFi not working” is not a good title.
so what now ?? how can i do something for this problem? now i start to think it is bug…
(opensuse 11.4 kde)
ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 ??
/sbin/lspsi -nnk

The WEXT interface to wireless drivers, which is used by ifconfig, is
deprecated. Many of the wireless drivers implement only a limited set of the
commands. It is part of the kernel, not openSUSE. If you tink that is a bug,
then it affects all distros. If you use “ifup”, then you should not see the
error, which is not fatal anyway.
I don’t know what your problem is, but using ifup is much harder than
NetworkManager. There are a lot of details that need to be handled. If you
really want to use that method, then post the contents of
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. It that file does not exist, then you need
to use YaST to configure wlan0.

Did Ubuntu use the same driver?
Really Larry is best to advise here. But it might be worth trying Compat Wireless?
By adding: Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/11.4-update
And installing the module to match your kernel flavour
Or, you could try updating the kernel to 3, from here
Index of /repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard
i did what you suggested but result is same :’(
iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn’t support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
wlan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning :** Network is down**
br0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
vboxnet0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
i did what you suggested
Yes, but what exactly did you do. I mentioned 2 ideas.
i tried to update kernel and i could not found match kernel flavour…
alsoo i tried this way
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod ath9k
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod ath9k_common
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod ath9k_hw
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod ath
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod mac80211
linux-c04t:~ # rmmod cfg80211
linux-c04t:~ # rfkill block wifi
linux-c04t:~ # modprobe ath9k
linux-c04t:~ # rfkill unblock all
linux-c04t:~ # ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
linux-c04t:~ # rfkill list

4: phy0: Wireless LAN

Try this
su -
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ kernel
zypper ref
(a) to accept key
zypper dup -r kernel
It will take a while,
Then reboot
Let me know if you have any trouble with running the above code.
It should add the kernel repo and switch you to use the kernel from that repo.
there is something wrong

You did the ar wrong
Go back to my instructions
Use your mouse to copy and paste the code to the terminal
it did not help me cuz i copied with mouse but result is same =(
okey SOLVED
rfkill list
i saw that hard blocked and soft blocked…
it was cuz of wireless button. I pressed too much time on it to change it on possition.
Now it is working.
=) thnx for your help =)
I notice that in caf’s post where he suggests:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ kernel
that there is a space…between standard/ and kernel
If there were not a space, it would appear as
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/kernel
could that have contributed to
