For those bitten by the same bug: (1) If not already installed, Yast install: kernel-syms-2.6.22.16-0.1 (2) download madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm from: http://madwifi.org/suse/10.3/src/madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm (3) check current madwifi version if different, as root remove existing madwifi: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep madwifi) (4) as root, rpmbuild --rebuild madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm (5) as root, modprobe ath_pci && depmod -A (6) rcnetwork restart (not really required, but never hurts) That will get you going. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We don't control building those packages, they are done by external people. So either we assign the bug to them, or we close it out.

This bug is definitely not fixed. And then I just wonder why such essential package repositories seem so far away from any influence of the openSUSE team? Is it really a good idea to release updates that break something as necessary as networking? This is not my idea of "the world's most usable Linux", honestly.

The reason for not shipping madwifi (even in NON-OSS) is simple: legal issues!

What legal issues? I'm an attorney and I don't see any. Why don't we just ask the madwifi folks if we can include it or let them know we are going to?
