I am testing openSUSE 13.1 RC2 with this older laptop. Up to now it has worked very well through all the releases upto openSUSE/KDE 12.3. On the moment I test the live openSUSE/KDE 13.1 RC2 via an usb-stick. The system comes up nicely but the wireless network card does not work and generates the following lines in dmesg output: [ 48.675564] enp3s6: resetting device... [ 48.675587] enp3s6: uploading firmware... [ 48.855166] prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890' [ 48.855175] enp3s6: could not upload firmware ('isl3890') [ 48.855179] enp3s6: islpci_reset: failure While I followed URL: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 to activate driver p54pci, the same as I had done for all the previous releases. The wireless networkcard, according to command "/sbin/lspci" Networkcontroller: "Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] /ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01)". The kernel version is according to command uname -r : 3.11.6-3-default I checked on the openSUSE forum wih Larry Finger, in thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/413006-please-help-enabling-p54-wireless-firmware-kernel-according-url-http-wireless-kernel-org-en-users-drivers-p54-2.html and he noticed that my wireless get the wrong naming "enp3s6" in stead of "wlp..." He proposed a way to still test my wireless card by adding an entry, 70-persistent-net.rules (with the mac address of my wireless card and wlan0 in it) to /etc/udev/rules.d/ I have added that line to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and deactivated prism54 driver and activated p54pci driver (via modprobe) and the wireless device started working correctly. > Below the relevant entries from dmesg > In the beginning > [ 3.245827] Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2 > then somewhere > [ ] systemd-udevd [230]:renamed network interface eth1 to enp3s6 > At the end > [561.396409] enp3s6: removing device > [ 561.471117] Unloaded prism54 driver > [ 737.932041] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain > [ 738.248459] ieee80211 phy0: p54 detected a LM86 firmware > [ 738.248470] p54: rx_mtu reduced from 3240 to 2376 > [ 738.248476] ieee80211 phy0: FW rev 2.13.25.0 - Softmac protocol 5.9 > [ 738.248483] ieee80211 phy0: cryptographic accelerator WEP:YES, > TKIP:YES, CCMP:YES > [ 738.359804] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: > [ 738.359812] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), > (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) > [ 738.359816] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 > mBi, 2000 mBm) > [ 738.359820] cfg80211: (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 > mBi, 2000 mBm) > [ 738.359823] cfg80211: (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 > mBi, 2000 mBm) > [ 738.359826] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 > mBi, 2000 mBm) > [ 738.359829] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 > mBi, 2000 mBm) > [ 739.102119] ieee80211 phy0: hwaddr 00:60:b3:1e:5a:fd, MAC:isl3890 > RF:Frisbee > [ 739.314682] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm > 'minstrel_ht' > [ 739.316966] p54pci 0000:03:06.0: is registered as 'phy0' > [ 739.532327] systemd-udevd[2433]: renamed network interface wlan0 to > wlp3s6 > [ 739.860509] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s6: link is not ready > [ 740.057475] NET: Registered protocol family 17 > [ 754.446569] wlp3s6: authenticate with bc:05:43:f2:77:b4 > [ 754.446780] wlp3s6: send auth to bc:05:43:f2:77:b4 (try 1/3) > [ 754.451362] wlp3s6: authenticated > [ 754.452090] wlp3s6: associate with bc:05:43:f2:77:b4 (try 1/3) > [ 754.454695] wlp3s6: RX AssocResp from bc:05:43:f2:77:b4 (capab=0x431 > status=0 aid=2) > [ 754.455114] wlp3s6: associated > [ 754.455175] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp3s6: link becomes ready > [ 754.455301] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: DE > [ 754.473156] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: DE > [ 754.473169] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), > (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) > [ 754.473173] cfg80211: (2400000 KHz - 2483500 KHz @ 40000 KHz), > (N/A, 2000 mBm) > [ 754.473177] cfg80211: (5150000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), > (N/A, 2000 mBm) > [ 754.473181] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5350000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), > (N/A, 2000 mBm) > [ 754.473185] cfg80211: (5470000 KHz - 5725000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), > (N/A, 2698 mBm) > [ 754.473188] cfg80211: (57240000 KHz - 65880000 KHz @ 2160000 KHz), > (N/A, 4000 mBm) > linux:/home/linux # The problem is now why assigned the openSUSE 13.1 RC2 live USB-stick initialy the wrong naming enp3s6 to my Wireless Network card.
