How to save the Firewall Zone setup for wireless Interface setting
in [Suse]
|
From: akarui.tomodachi on 16 Apr 2008 00:03 (Similar posting also posted in the SUSE Forum::Wirless Network) My wireless network card (D-link Air Plus DWL-G520) stopped working and lost the network connectivity after an update (automatic update) was installed on April 12, 2008. Unfortunately, I didn't check what update was that. I am using madwifi driver for my wireless card. I reinstalled the driver, but it didn't help. Later I found a temporary work around solution with following steps: 1) Assigned the Wireless Interface Firewall Zone to "External" from YAST (Yast Control Centre -> Network Devices -> Network Cards -> Network Settings -> Configure -> General -> Firewall Zone -> External) 2) Configure the Wireless Interface Firewall Zone to "External" from "Firewall Configuration" (Yast Control Centre -> Security and Users -> Firewall -> Interface -> Change -> Interface Zone to "External") But, if I reboot the PC, then I find the Network Device's Firewall (#1 above) configuration resets to " No Zone, All Traffic Blocked". I believe it is happening for "Firewall Setup" for which interface's firewall zone is not saved after configured. Please let me know how to make the above configuration permanent ?

What you did should be permanent, so if not, you maybe locked some config file by editing it by hand so YaST could not save it, and instead created a new config file somewhere, with a name ending with .SuSEconfig Try: find /etc -name \*.SuSEconfig if you find one, you need to resolve it, or YaST is unable to configure that function. /bb
From: akarui.tomodachi on 17 Apr 2008 02:02 I don't see any config file other than a log file. The find from the root directry outputs as below: Linux-2000:/ # find ./ -name "*.SuSEconfig" ../var/log/YaST2/y2log.SuSEconfig Every time after start, I have to manually configure the wireless interface (as mentioned before) to get connected.

I also observed (using "tail -f") while the wireless card's firewall configuration was set from YAST, but nothing was logged into this file. /** tail of the log file **/ Linux-2000:/etc/sysconfig # tail /var/log/YaST2/y2log.SuSEconfig Running module words only Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system...
