Description Peter Varkoly 2006-11-27 14:01:14 UTC

Starting yast2 lan to configure my WLAN card model "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection". If I choose the WLAN card to edit I get following error message: "The device needs a firmware to function properly. It can be installed from openSUSE 10.2 Add-On CD. To install the firmware, add Add-On CD to your YaST installation sources and return to this configuration dialog."

I've done so, but I always get this error message.

Then I've installed with the needed package with "yast2 -i ipw-firmware" but I get the error message furthermore.

Ah, I see, the check for package availability was wrong. 

Peter, if you want to, you can test a patch, or I can build a new yast2-network package for you, before I finally submit the fix ;-)

Comment 4 Peter Varkoly 2006-11-28 18:08:44 UTC

Where can I find the patch or the new yast2-network modul?

Patch for correct card requiring firmware setup

To be applied to /usr/share/YaST/include/network/lan/complex.ycp

Comment 6 Peter Varkoly 2006-11-29 10:38:08 UTC

The patch is wrong. Now yast2 lan can not start because of syntax error.
