Created attachment 599855 [details] Network Configuration bug report Description of problem: Network Configuration manager cannot activate TP-LINK WN723N WLAN adapter (usb) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.99.21 How reproducible: Must install the $14 TP-LINK WN723N WLAN adapter Actual results: See the enclosed bug report Expected results: TP-LINK WN723N WLAN adapter should be activated and connected to WLAN
Forgot to mention, the driver for the WLAN adapter is available here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2742 It will download the "RTL819xCU _USB_linux_v3.4.3_4369.20120622.zip"
Another thing: the exact same device+driver works fine on CentOS 6.2
Hello, I came here to report this bug occuring on CentOS 5.8 (packaged with Rocks Clusters 5.5) using the kmod-r8192ce-PAE package from Elrepo on a realtek 8188CE/8912CE wifi card. The device works fine if I use NetworkManager, but I need to use multiple NICs.
I was able to circumvent this error message by doing following this post and altering some things: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1116672 1. manually adding an entry into the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with an appropriate profile and key, 2. creating a device profile in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 3. running the following commands: chkconfig network off chkconfig wpa_supplicant off 4. editing /etc/rc.local to add the following lines: ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.100 (I have a static config) ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -Bw - Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf service network start I was able to circumvent the crash experienced from making a r819x profile with system-config-network GUI and being able to avoid NetworkManager. A r819x profile also appears in the Network Monitor applet in gnome. It gives a different error now, but the device works and it shows it is active.
