Description Alex Mann 2012-05-14 20:17:54 MSK

Description of problem:
1. The firewall is disabled by default, and I am not able to enable it even after going through the firewall setup.  The setup confirms the firewall settings, but when I re-open the firewall manager, the firewall is disabled.  I would very much prefer the firewall to be enabled - prevent security problems.

2. When trying to setup shared network connections, I get a message asking me to setup the firewall, but because the firewall does not start, I cannot proceed.

3. My primary issue is to connect to a wireless network:
 - I have a wireless usb D-Link DWA-130c, that uses rt8192u driver (working in windows xp) 
 - I have installed the .inf file in ndiswrapper -> modprobe ndiswrapper -> service network restart
 -- I am not able to configure the wireless interface with ndiswrapper

I am a bit of a novice with linux networking. I thank you in advance for your suggestions. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firewall manager in "configure my computer"
2. unselect "everything" (want full firewall), and press ok/next/complete
3. open firewall manager -> no firewall is enabled

Thanks for report. To calm you fear about security you system i'm say, that all change in firewall will appear, but some settings not correctly seen in GUI.

You may see

 systemctl status shorewall.service

that it's run and works. We fix this error in future update.


For ndiswrapper - i think it's not needing. Try use

Place you Dlink in usb and give us output (from root)

 lsusb

command.

Comment 3 Dmitry Mikhirev 2012-05-15 16:19:27 MSK

I suggest to discuss WiFi setup on forums and keep this report for drakfirewall.

Comment 4 Alex Mann 2012-05-15 16:35:18 MSK

Definitely a good suggestion.  Is there a good forum for ROSA linux?

Comment 5 Pavel Shved 2012-05-15 16:52:23 MSK

I don't know about a good one, but official forum is located at http://forum.rosalab.ru/.  Its English section may be found at http://forum.rosalab.ru/en/viewforum.php?f=12.

Comment 6 Alex Mann 2012-05-15 17:45:56 MSK

I was able to setup the wireless via ndiswrapper
- blacklist r8192u_usb -> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat.conf
- alias wlan0 ndiswrapper -> /etc/modules.conf
- add 'ndiswrapper' -> /etc/modprobe.preload
(reboot)

Comment 7 Aleksandr Kazantcev 2012-05-21 13:18:03 MSK

Try add testing repo

http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akdengi_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/i586/main/release/

or

http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akdengi_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/x86_64/main/release/

and update drakx-net.

It will fix yous problem with drakfirewall.

For wlan maybe fix later.
