After upgrading from Mageia 4 to Mageia 5 my wireless connection to the Internet is no longer working.

I have a USB device which is a Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 as the wireless device on my computer. It uses internally an Ralink connection. In network manager I can see that Mageia 5 recognizes it as "Ralink 802.11n WLAN" and when I try to connect to my router's wireless network via Network Manager it says that the connection is established and that there is no problem. But all attempts at accessing the Internet fail. The weather applet shows a big X-like image rather than a weather image; when I open web pages in Firefox all pages return that the server is not connectied etc. etc. through any Internet access.

Any help trying to figure out what is happening would be appreciated. I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem is that Network Manager and some sort of network applet are conflicting with each other, both trying to manage the wireless network connection. But while I can easily see the Network Manager I do not see a network applet anywhere if it exists. Of course I could easily be wrong and it is some other problem.

Which desktop environment are you using? Please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e wireless -e wifi ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa

and, as root:

Code: Select all: ifconfig -a rfkill list all systemctl status network.service -a journalctl -ab | grep -iE "fw|firmware|iwl|wifi|wire|80211"

Hmm, seems OK so far, you are connected via wireless and have even obtained an IP adress via DHCP. Please show the output of the following commands as root

Code: Select all: iwconfig netstat -rn cat /etc/resolv.conf ping -c5 8.8.8.8 ping -c5 google.com

Hmmm, looks like a problem with your router. routing table and default route looks OK, you obtained DNS server and search suffix (are you with AT&T ?) from your router.
Maybe the router simply needs a reboot?

Ive seen this symptom as well where the only thing thats not passed in the DHCP packet is a good dns resolver.

in that case I had to set the dns manually to 8.8.8.8 on there persons desktop.

that will work as a workaround, but ultimately, the router needs either a hard coded dns server set in its config, to pass in the dhcp part
or find out why the dns proxy is not working in the router.

Well, it should be easy to find out. If the name server is in the lease obtained from the router, then it's an issue on your box.
If it's not in the lease, then that's a broken router.

The .lease files should be located in either
/var/lib/dhclient or for networkmanager in /var/lib/NetworkManager/

by **jiml8** » Sep 1st, '15, 23:06

It all looks OK. Might try pinging the router directly. Problem pretty much has to be there.

I moved and in the process changed Internet providers. With my new Internet provider I have had no problems connecting to their wireless network via their router/modem setup using Mageia 5. Everything else, including my own computer and hardware, remained the same. Perhaps Mageia was able to figure something out internally which it could not with the old Internet provider's router/modem.

So the issue is resolved for me.

Thanks for your help !
