I can confirm this happened to me too after upgrading to kernel-desktop-3.0.0 from Tumbleweed repo, but with a BCM43224 card and broadcom-wl driver. Used to work fine with kernel-desktop-2.6.39
You'll see in the following debug snippets that this is no trivial misconfiguration or missing firmware. Something broke with kernel-desktop-3.0.0 and it is not obvious.
Expecially that "tail -f /var/log/messages" while modprobing gives no (!) output (no missing firmware, no complaints, nothing) is very suspecious.

Good to see that I am not the only one! Could all of you please vote for this bug to give it some priority? It really is important since I've lost all wireless net connectivity and can only connect with cable network. I was also able to use the brcmsmac driver with kernel 2.6.39 (but preferred broadcom-wl for being more stable). With kernel 3.0.0, brcmsmac is behaving exactly like wl: Modprobing it just writes the staging-tree warning to /var/log/messages and nothing else. It used to write a lot of debug output. I just mentioned this to show that it even happens with built-in kernel drivers and not only 3rd party drivers. Well, my Intel Wireless 6250 adapter also died after update to kernel 3.0 from Tumbleweed, but in this case I believe it's kernel-firmware package to blame, providing incompatible firmware. Could all our issues here be related to an incompatible firmware package? Mine's kernel-firmware-20110709-42.1.noarchfrom Tubleweed repo. Can some kernel developer clarify? I checked in /lib/modules and there is no rt2800pci.ko file. There is only rt2800lib.ko and rt2800usb.ko. There was an update for kernel-firmware today, 20110709-47.1, that contains rt2860.bin but my wireless card still isn't recognized. Could my wifi problem be something as simple as the rt2800pci module has been left out of the 3.0 kernel being supplied for Tumbleweed? Exactly the same symptoms for BRCM43224 cards on Arch Linux overe here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=970078 So this is most likely supposed to be an upstream bug, isn't it? It seems to matter WHEN the module is loaded! I had "brcmsmac" and "brcm80211" blacklisted because of wl. "rmmod wl" and "modprobe brcmsmac" afterwards never worked but now I removed the wl module completely and uncommented the blacklist lines for the brcm driver in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf. And guess what? The brcmsmac driver loaded as done before manually a 1000 times but this time it created a "wlan1" interface. The rt2800 disappeared in 3.0. We enabled another one. Could you test with kernel 3.0.2 from (after it builds): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ ? For the rest of the cards (broadcom, intel), create a separate report. 3.0.2 is working for me. It's logging that WPA is untested but no problems so far with WPA2 enabled. I installed kernel 3.0.3-1 desktop today and rt2800pci is found and my wireless is working. Now I'm getting this from ifconfig:

I added the x's to conceal my ip address. This issue looks to be resolved.
How long before this kernel is added to the Tumbleweed repo? (In reply to comment #13) > How long before this kernel is added to the Tumbleweed repo? Few days or a week. Thanks. |
