Wicked service

English Network/Internet
1

Hi all,

I get some trouble when using network manager with my Wireless card (relatively old Ralink card) and I try first to use the wicked service to setup my wifi connection.

After starting and configuring wicked with YAST network is working.
But after a reboot my Wifi hot spot (4G) see the connection of my opensuse leap42.1 but network appear unreachable for all of the user (user and root).

I am looking for a guide to use Wicked.
What can be the setup problem, wifi connection is ok but Firefox, ping and other connections are not working?

If you had it working through wicked, it should work through the Networkmanager. Use it to connect and disconnect. Meanwhile look at output of


ip route

it should show the correct gateway

next


cat /etc/resolv.conf

that should show the nameservers used

Can you ping the wifi-hotspot’s ip address ?

Have you tried disabling ipv6 ( in Yast , mind, this needs a reboot ).

Ok, thank you for your answer.

I will try configuring wicked without ipv6 and with the parameter obtained after ip route.
I will come back with the status.

If I play with connect/disconnect several time with network manager it finished by not working!

I think I have also a problem with IP conflict, I have 2 smart phone, 2 tablet and one pc on the same hotspot. How can I checked if I have ip conflict?
Instability appear more important when everything is connected in the same time.
Thanks.

From what I’ve seen, “wicked” and “Network manager” are mutually exclusive:
it’s a case of either one or, the other . . .
Carefully inspect the systemd settings of “wicked” and “Network manager”: # systemctl list-unit-files | grep -E ‘etwor|icke’

  • only one of them can be enabled;
  • the other has to be disabled.

[HR][/HR]Please note that, in the case of “wicked” being enabled, at least with 13.2, “Network Manager” needs to be masked if unexpected journal entries at boot time are to be avoided.

Under network manager I get this error:

ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x308c with error -110

I loss the connection and it was impossible to reconnect my computer to the wifi. To recover a connection I need to reboot.
But on this other side I can not used wicked service…!
When I setup the wicked service and do a reboot I see on my hotspot wifi than my computer is connected but it is impossible to access the network. I a try a ping and I get unreachable network!

Hi all,

some progress for me but not enough…!
In fact I was able to configure partially the Wicked service, I can ping the hotspot wifi and I can ping also other computer on my network.
With Mozilla I can see the page used to configure my hot spot but is impossible to access internet.

What is missing? Route, DNS or other…?
Thanks in advance.

That’s for you to tell us…

ip route

cat /etc/resolv.conf

If necessary, copy/paste to a text file and transfer via memory stick to machine with internet access for posting here.

Ok,
I put back network manager on my PC and I get this when internet access is working:

**default via 192.168.8.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 600
192.168.8.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.8.103 metric 600

Generated by NetworkManager

nameserver 192.168.8.1**

And I get this when using Wicked (ping OK, internet access fail):

**default via 192.168.8.1 dev wlan0 proto dhcp
192.168.8.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.8.103

No namserver appear !
Thanks,
