After blacklisting ath5k and mac80211

lsmod | grep ath
ath_rate_sample 31232   1
ath_pci         255168  0
wlan            265584  4       wlan_scan_sta, ath_rate_sample, ath_pci
ath_hal         346896  3       ath_rate_sample, ath_pci

and after configuring in Yast it worked!!!

Thank you David, thank you very much, and also the others who contributed with 
small remarks.



What have we done in effect more than blacklisting ath5k and mac80211?
