can you try with the FULL DVD ?

Comment 2 Olivier Blin 2011-05-06 00:53:57 CEST 
Is kernel-firmware-extra installed?

It should contain some useful firmwares for rtl8192 chipsets
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin

> can you try with the FULL DVD ?
It was a FULL DVD installation.

Bingo.
kernel-firmware-extra was missing.
after installation wifi is running.

This package should be automatically installed.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 4 Olivier Blin 2011-05-06 08:29:25 CEST 
This is not fixed, the package should be automatically installed by the network tools.
And we might consider putting kernel-firmware-extra in the dual CD or DVD

there is another bug report about "putting kernel-firmware-extra in the dual CD or DVD" so closing this one
