Bug #646788 opened.

A friend dictated this over the phone as he now has no connection - we're in the UK. He tested with a 11.2 laptop and got a connection. From dmesg ATH5K phy0: Atheros AR2413 chip found (mac: 0x78,phy:0x45)

ath5k does not support the AR2413. You have to use the older madwifi module. You also have to unload the ath5k module before loading the madwifi.

Right i am the person with the problem the ath5k driver seems to support the chipset in question very well and has done for best part of 12 months without problems this all started after i did an "zypper up" not "zypper dup" as reported by Sid it seems it is a yast failure to correctly configure the networking as i have connected from the command line instantly using the ath5k driver Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3" 18:04 up 11:02, 4 users, load average: 1.68, 1.13, 0.92 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ok, I was mistaken. They must have added support at some point. I remember that was the case in 11.0.

Sorry.
