I installed kernel-source, kernel-syms and Linux-kernel-headers,

lspci -vvv offered me Kernel modules: ath_pci, ath5k

I found
/lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/updates/ath/ath_pci.ko


In Yast I could not adjust AR242x802.11 abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter

because of missing Kernel device (eth0, wlan0)

So far???

Good, we are getting there. On my box lspci shows my card as:

17:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg
Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

Yours is the same card:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg
Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

I have the ath_pci.ko module at:

/lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/weak-updates/ath/ath_pci.ko

I have the following installed:

17:22 alchemy~> rpm -qa | grep madwifi
madwifi-debuginfo-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2
madwifi-debugsource-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2
madwifi-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2
madwifi-devel-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2
madwifi-kmp-default-r3725+AR5007EG_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.2

I installed them all and still in Yast I cannot configure AR242x802.11
abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter

because of missing Kernel device (eth0, wlan0),
so I can't come to the choice as you showed in your screenshot

From Jimmy Pierre I learned

ifup wlan0 -o auto
and that reacted with
Interface wlan0 is not available

Should that be the trouble?
And how would I make that available?
