Toshiba U205-S5034 and EUB9603H wireless issues

[Carl Spitzer]

I tried it with both the internal and external wireless on of off NO GO.

Now testing with external switch set to off. It was set to on before and
still no wireless.

Has anyone made wireless work on this computer under 11.4 or later. I am trying to set this up for a friend but currently only wired connections work.

Has anyone made wireless work on this computer under 11.4 or later. I am
trying to set this up for a friend but currently only wired connections
work.

See
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/469447-Flaky-wireless-Power-Management for a possible answer.

Does not apply as the Engenius works in a Dell 5150.
I was looking for a solution to the toshiba problem.
I do note the power supply for the Dell is larger and likely has more
amperage to support a system.

I am left wondering if the longstanding issue of SuSE wireless setups
being a pain if done after install has again popped up, therefore
requiring a reinstall with the wireless connected forcing the system to
install all needed software.

Its more complicated with so small a screen 7x10 inches.

I have also tested the Engenius on Desktops and they work fine as well.

this is either a Toshiba issue or a SuSE issue and I was hoping someone
here has experience to save me from a reinstall.
