The connection doesn't get as far as the authentication server so there are no log files saved on it to say why it is not managing to connect.Ī USB wireless adapter on the laptops connects with no issue at all. However, we have had some laptops with exactly the same specs and hardware and OS versions that connects fine It is mostly apparent on Windows 10 Update 1803 but also been experiencing it on windows 8.1. Seems to be Realtek Wireless adapters of various versions and driver versions. Here is the really strange thing, we probably have around 4000 users that use their laptops/phones etc on WiFi but around 1-2% cannot connect their laptops to the WiFi due to this issue, when you try to connect and during the connection process it disables the network adapter and brings it back online and then states it cannot connect to this network. Mainly HP laptops with Realtek wireless network adapters, try to connect to the company network (we have 2 one for setup of a software that helps connect to the main network and means that the user should have no issues connecting after a password change as it should auto update the password.

I am thankful the kernel-devel package isn't a required dependency of the 'kernel' package.This is one of the most bizarre issues I have come across and to date, I have found no workaround or fix. I don't have any kernel-devel packages installed on either my laptop or desktop PC because,ġ) I don't need to build any kernel modules on either systemĢ) My 'broadband' isn't really so broad (6MB down max adsl) so why add stuff you don't need or use.ģ) Am constantly approaching our monthly ISP datacap (150GB) as it is and having to monitor it carefully. No way for a somewhat nooby to know that until someone tells them so. Why isn't it working?'Īnd of course, the problem being the kernel module build/install program is looking for the kernel headers that are installed by the kernel-devel package, not the kernel-headers package. 'But I have the kernel-headers package installed.

I guess they figure that if the user knows enough to build a kernel module, then they know enough to install the kernel-devel package.The issue I see over and over is some user attempting to 'make install' or some such command on package that will supposedly build and install the kernel module they need, only to be confronted with an ending error message 'kernel headers could not be found', or some such language. Kernel-devel is pretty much only required if you need to build kernel modules.
