I’m running the latest Open Suse on this computer. The wifi will not work at all. The hardware don’t even show up I’ve tried hwinfo -wlan and the like to find what card I have. No results at all.
Wifi works OK under windoze. The only reply I’ve gotten fro Asus is that they do not support linux.

The device below is your wireless:

The driver for this device was added to the kernel in version 3.15. That means
that you will need to install a kernel newer than any of the standard versions.
Someone else can tell you how to get the latest 3.15.X. If you want the latest
kernel version, you can do the following:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard KOTD
Next launch YaST => Software Management and search for “kernel-default”. Find
the one with version “3.16.rcX…” and install it.
You will still not have the necessary firmware for the wireless device. You can
get this with the following:
sudo zypper install git
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
sudo cp linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/.
Now you should reboot into the new kernel, and wireless should work.
Thanks! Worked like a charm! rotfl!
Thanks Larry
Well done to the OP
