Wireless doesnt work after updating SUSE

**JTB7** · 11-17-2008

Idk if this should be in the wireless section but I think I would get more help here

I had suse linux 10.3 and the internet worked fine. I had to configure the card with ndiswrapper, though. I updated to suse linux 11 and now it doesnt work. My guess is that ndiswrapper became outdated. The card that I want to use, Dell Truemobile 1400 is eth1 and Knetworkmanager doesnt even detect eth1. I tried configuring the card with YAST but I dont know what to change, really. I did

iwlist scan

and it came up with lo eth0 wlan0. No eth1. I tried

iw scan

and came up with lo no wireless eth0 no wireless wlan0 a bunch of stuff with 0 frequency, etc. Please help because I hate using windows!!!

I'll need some info to help more. Read through my post linked to below, and post the output of the commands in this thread,

While I was waiting, I found that SUSE made my wireless card that I configured with ndiswrapper never start and I changed it to boot at startup. My wireless does scan now and find my connection(57&#37

but it says it is connecting through WPA. My connection is WEP and I go to edit connection and check use 'security settings.' Then go to expert settings to enter in my password for the wireless(it might have erased it in the update). Knetworkmanager then crashes. And it crashes every time I click expert settings. I tried uninstalling and installing knetworkmanager through YAST and it still crashes everytime. I think it could just be a problem with knetworkmanager.

My guess is that you did an update rather then a full install. Updates can leave stuff from the previous OS and is often more problems then it is worth. You can do a full install and tell the installer not to format the home partition just mount it as /home. This will save your personal data and settings. The install then formats root and installs the new OS. You will have to reinstall any special programs you need. But on the plus side it will clean out all those things you have installed but never use.

**waterhead** · 11-19-2008

This would be the wireless:

Code:

02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 02)

It usually is supported by the b43 driver, which is usually automatically loaded. I don't see it loading, did you blacklist it? The NDISwrapper driver is loading and should work, but the b43 driver is better (in my opinion). You would need to first install firmware for it.

I would recommend trying the b43 driver instead of the NDISwrapper driver. To do so follow these instructions, but first you need a wired internet connection:

Remove the NDISwrapper driver module, use sudo to gain root privileges.

Code:

sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper

Download and install the firmware for the b43 driver:

Code:

sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

Load the b43 driver module:

Code:

sudo modprobe b43

If this gets your wireless working, you may want to check the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file. Make sure that b43 is not blacklisted, if it is, remove it and add ndiswrapper.

**JTB7** · 11-19-2008

Paul, I did what you told me to run in root and there is no file or directory. Am I supposed to put something into usr/bin/ ?

Code:

linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # modprobe -r ndiswrapper
linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # /usr/bin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
bash: /usr/bin/install_bcm43xx_firmware: No such file or directory

gogalthorp, I tried the live cd out and cant open a terminal anywhere!! I just want to know if that happens on all live cds before I hit 'install' shorcut.

**waterhead** · 11-19-2008

The file is /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

**JTB7** · 11-20-2008

Code:

linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # modprobe -r ndiswrapper

Apparently I need the internet to get my wireless internet to work

Again, Knetworkmanger detects my wireless internet around me but when I click on expert settings to put in password for WEP.

Code:

The application KnewtorkManager crashed and caused the signal 11( SIGSEGV)

An application mostly recieves the SIGEGV signal due to a bug in the application. The application was asked to save its original documents.

In the same post that I gave those instructions, i said that first you needed a wired internet connection. Do you not have access to one?

It appears that the wireless is working because the driver has two parts. There is the free open source part that is included in the distribution. This makes it appear to be working. Then there is the proprietary firmware. This is needed before the wireless can connect.

Oh, I am sorry didn't see that I needed a wired connection.

Edit:I hooked up a wired connection and my internet(wired) works. I did what you told me to do and changed it to start at boot time. It scans and finds internet around me but knetworkmanager still doesnt let me enter in the key. Is there any other way to connect through terminal(and not knetworkmanager)? I think I could connect if it wasnt for knetworkmanager bugging up.

Edit2: I tried conecting through terminal using
iwconfig eth1 enc your_key
iwconfig eth1 essid "network_name"
dhcpcd eth1 -d

and got this:

Code:

linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # iwconfig wlan0 essid "bonzoboy"
linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # iwconfig wlan0 enc bonzo54gnetbob
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    invalid argument "bonzo54gnetbob".

I did wlan0 because eth1 said there was no such device

Thank you waterhead in advance for being so helpful.
