Hi all. Need help.
I have just transferred from Ubuntu 12.10 to openSuse 12.2. Reason for this was because I could not get my wireless working after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10. Lo and behold I have the same problem I have a dual boot HP DV6 laptop with Windows 7 as teh o/s that came with the laptop. It incorporates an intel Centrino N1000 wireless card which works fine in Windows 7 and worked fine in Ubuntu 10.4.
I have read many forums and tried a lot of suggestions. But alas nothing has worked for me. The card connects but it will not authenticate. It can see all networks in my area. The ethernet works just fine.
I am not sure what info to post but following is iwconfig andiwlist.
linux-v99w:~ # iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
linux-v99w:~ #
I am using NM and have Kwallet enabled. I have tried using ’ ifup '.
I have deletd lan settings in NM and rebooted. The router is using WPA2 with passphrase.
I have tried a lot of suggestions that have worked for others, but I cannot get authentication from the router.
Any assistance will be welcomed.
The above line is for your wireless device. Please run the command ‘/sbin/lspci
-nn’ and post that line (only) from the new output. That will let us know
exactly what Intel card you have, and what driver it uses.
Certainly, WPA2 works in openSUSE 12.2, and as you made it work with Ubuntu
10.04, it seems likely that you are setting it up correctly. Perhaps there is a
problem with the driver in the kernel version 3.4 used in openSUSE or 3.5 used
in Ubuntu 12.10.
One option is to install the compat-wireless package, which will get you the
wireless drivers from kernel 3.7.
I think you may be right about the kernel. When I upgraded from 2.6 kernel (Ubuntu 10.04) to 3.2 (Ubuntu 11.10) then this is when everything went pear shaped.
I downloaded the 3.7.1 compat-driver tar.gz, unpacked it and installed it. Rebooted my system but alas, I still have no wireless connection.
It still picks up all the wireless routers in my area, but will not authenticate with an IP address. In fact I also have an usecured wireless router on the network which provides free wifi to customers, and I cannot connect the HP DV6, N1000 to it either under linux. Windows 7 connects fine.
When I try to connect and watch the actions of the network KDE control module (Network Manager), it comes up and says connected, but it does not recieve an IP address and after a short while says ‘not connected’. I have an Acer netbook with an Atheros network card and ubuntu 12.04, which would not connect with 3.6 kernel, but after upgrading the Atheros driver it came good, and now works on the wireless router. There is another HP DV6 in the office using Windows7 and it is connected with wireless all the time.
I know its not the router. It all comes back to the Linux kernel, but as I am still on my linux Learner plates I do not know where to turn next.
I have resolved my wireless issue in Ubuntu, but still have the same issue with openSuse 12.2.
The fix for Ubuntu was to enter the command " modprobe iwlwifi bt_coex_active=N ".
It works perfectly now.

Thar same fix should work for openSUSE. After all, all Linux distros use
essentially the same kernel, and this is definitely a kernel issue.
What you should do is create a file /etc/modprobe.d/50-iwlwifi.conf (as root)
and place the line “options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=n” in it. That will apply the
option every time you boot.
