I would like to confirm this bug observation on an Asus Eee PC 1016P with a fresh openSUSE 12.1 installation (openSUSE-12.1-DVD-i586.iso via PXE): After the original installation WLAN did not work. After manually adding the package kernel-firmware it does work. Bugs 728395 and 729996 seem to refer to the same effect. Long time no response.So closed.Feel free to reopen it.Thanks. Long time no response.So closed.Feel free to reopen it.Thanks (Revert bogus close.) Hi,could you please have a look this?I am not sure whether it is right to assign it to you.Feel free to reassign it.Thanks. Not my bug, this is an installation issue, sorry. Hi,Thank you for your report.Could you please help to provide zypper-logs?Thank you. Created attachment 487016 [details]

HI,could you please help to have a look this?I am not sure whether it is right yo assign it to you.Feel free to reassign it.Thank you. (In reply to comment #0) > Installing openSUSE-12.1-DVD-i586.iso (new install from an USB over version > 11.4, /home not formated, language spanish, default install) doesn't install > package kernel-firmware by default .. > Installing opensuse 12.1 KDE Live-CD over the same PC with the same defaults > installs correctly package kernel-firmware Coolo: Is there a broken kernel-firmware on the openSUSE-12.1-DVD-i586.iso? (In reply to comment #10) > Coolo: Is there a broken kernel-firmware on the openSUSE-12.1-DVD-i586.iso? As far as I remember it, the kernel-firmware package was not selected after the original installation on my system. After I selected it in YaST everything worked fine. As I see it, the bug is that it was not automatically selected, even though the hardware requires this package. well, someone needs to check the hardware in this eeepc against the supplements of the kernel-firmware package. @Stephan Kulow: I'm not keen on trashing the existing installation, now that I got it working as I like it. Do you know of a way to test this without doing an actual installation? this has nothing to do with installation actually. Check rpm -q --supplements kernel-firmware and check hwinfo --network and hwinfo --wlan It will output things like SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0 With that info, use cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/modalias This info should match against the supplements. If not, the bug is in the driver. If it matches, the bug is in the installer. Created attachment 498062 [details]
output of hwinfo and rpm queries
I have done as you asked and attached the collected output. Please note that I have made a kernel update since the original installation.
So you have pci:v000014E4d00004727sv00001A3Bsd00002047bc02sc80i00 And those are the ones with prefix pci:v000014E4d0000 modalias(pci:v000014E4d0000164[EF]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) modalias(pci:v000014E4d00001650sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) modalias(pci:v000014E4d0000166[23]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) modalias(pci:v000014E4d0000168[ADE]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) modalias(pci:v000014E4d000016A[5BE]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) The driver doesn't need any hardware actually: /sbin/modinfo -F firmware /lib/modules/3.1.10-1.16-desktop/kernel/drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/brcmsmac.ko -> empty This even applies to 3.4.4 on 12.2. Not sure if it's worth a special hack in kernel-firmware or if the driver should be fixed. But this is for sure not a bug in the installation. Created attachment 499996 [details]
