Hi everybody!
I have been having problems installing opensuse on my new IdeaPad S540 (Model name 81NH).
I tried installing the latest Leap 15.1, but even during the installation process, it did not see my network card, and the touch acted weirdly and the froze.
Thinking of a driver/firmware problem, I tried installing Tumbleweed. That solved the touchpad problem, but not the wifi issue: when I was offer the ossibility by Yast to "edit" a network card during install, Yast simply crashed, after displaying an error message. Same behaviour after install.
The card is listed by Yast -> Hardware info as a RTL8821.
Systemlogs are not very helpful, here is what I could find:
iwlist finds only the lo interface, which does not support scanning, and iwconfig also finds only lo, with no wireless extension.
The kernel is 5.5.9.1
Any help as usual greatly appreciated!
Best,
Federico
