Wifi problem with Asus M415D

Hi,
I can’t use wifi with my Asus M415D (openSUSE 15.3). No ssid appears in the little box at the bottom right corner of the computer. I tried many things with the openSUSE french community Alionet (install rtl8821ce, as my wifi card is AzureWave AW-CB231NF), but it didn’t work, and they ask me to contact Sauerland here, as he is the one who is in charge of the rtl8821ce. I will of course be grateful of the help of anyone of you.

Thanks

Thanks a lot Sauerland.

See my last post:
Only:

i+ | rtw88-kmp-default    | Paket | git20210618_k5.3.18_59.5-lp153.2.1 | x86_64 | Sauerland-Update

Wlan is working.

Thanks for your remarks.
Do I erase every kmp-preempt, or do I keep only this one:

i+ | rtw88-kmp-default    | Paket | git20210618_k5.3.18_59.5-lp153.2.1 | x86_64 | Sauerland-Update

I’m coming back with the english responses, I’m sorry I didn’t realize.

is@localhost:~> uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.3.18-59.5-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 2 08:21:36 UTC 2021 (eaf040d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So this one should work:

i+ | rtw88-kmp-default | Paket | git20210618_k5.3.18_59.5-lp153.2.1 | x86_64 | Sauerland-Update

Both rtl8821ce packages can be deleted:

i+ | rtl8821ce-blacklist-rtw_8821ce | paquet | git20210529-lp153.3.1 | x86_64 | Hardware (openSUSE_Leap_15.3_Update)
i+ | rtl8821ce-kmp-default | paquet | git20210529_k5.3.18_59.5-lp153.3.1 | x86_64 | Hardware (openSUSE_Leap_15.3_Update)

After this restart your Computer.

I deleted theses packages and restarted the computer, but unfortunately I don’t see any ssid. Maybe I forgot something. Thanks for your help.

Could you please tell me where do I go to know if kernel-firmware-realtek is installed?

  1. secure boot in Bios/UEFI is disabled?
  2. please show:
/usr/sbin/rfkill list all

I chose as boot option no 1 “opensuse” and not “opensuse secureboot”.
The bios warns me that there’s a “secureboot violation”, “invalid signature detected, check secureboot policy in setup”


/usr/sbin/rfkill list all
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no

2: hci0: Bluetooth

Thanks a lot

You have to disable secure boot in Bios/UEFI.

Not in Grub.

It’s in bios that I went to disable secureboot. I think there’s no other possibility in bios to disable secureboot, I didn’t see any.

I’m sorry, I just saw how to do. It’s done, and the warning doesn’t appear anymore.
Here’s what the console gives me now (the same):


/usr/sbin/rfkill list all
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth

No ssid for the moment unfortunately.

Does it work now?

Post as root

iw list

No unfortunately.

It shows nothing.
