So, I gather no one has any insights and I should just file a bug against ... firmware-realtek? The installer? Can anyone maybe suggest which package the bug should be filed against? Thanks. Carl -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: WiFi works during install, not after Resent-Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2016 21:09:25 +0000 (UTC) Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2016 17:09:06 -0400 From: Carl Fink <carl@finknetwork.com> To: Debian Users <debian-user@lists.debian.org> So I have a ThinkPad Yoga 11s ultrabook. If I copy over the firmware-realtek package, Debian can install just fine over the WiFi connection. (I don't have wired internet at my home.) After install, everything is fine, except I can't connect to the WiFi. I know it's possible because the installer does it! The wlan0 interface exists and is up, but "dhclient wlan0" ends up assigning 169.169.254.8.192, which is not a routable address. As you might expect, attempts to ping/connect to external systems via IP address fail with "Destination host unreachable" and of course, DNS lookups universally fail. This ultrabook is supposed to have the rtl8723au chipset, which is a USB 802.11/Bluetooth chipset that for some reason Lenovo used in the laptop, with an inside-the-case-only USB connection. The firmware-realtek package is installed on the ultrabook. Interestingly, the rtl8723au module is NOT loaded, and "modprobe rtl8723au" fails with a message about the module not being found, even though it's right there if I "locate rtl8723au", in the drivers/staging directory. Maybe the staging area isn't used by default? I confess I don't remember how to change the path that is searched for loadable modules. Any insights would be most gratefully received. -- Carl Fink carl@finknetwork.com
