I haven't read them, but they look promising. I have also had the best luck with madwifi drivers from:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980
Thanks for the suggestions, but they did not bring me to a solution.
Since then I tried to install with NDISGTK the following XP drivers from the Acer site:
netathr.inf; Invalid driver
netathrx.inf; Invalid driver
netw4k32.inf; Hardware present: No
netw4x32.inf; Invalid driver
netw4x64.inf; Hardware present: No
From 'hwinfo –netcard' I got:
Model: "Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter"
Driver Status: ath5k is active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ath5k"
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
Attached to: #19 (PCI bridge)
From the madwifi site I learned that ath5k is the successor of madwifi.
What else can I do?
André den Oudsten
do what I did http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar...
You'll need to compile and install it, as described in README and INSTALL files in the source code.
and uninstall the ath5k good luck
I followed the instructions in First Time User HOWTO and after entering make I got as reply: bash: command not found
I was a little embarrassed!!
What can I do?
André
You need to install make and gcc. zypper -n in make gcc
Ed
I installed make and tried again. After make I got: Makefile.inc:91: *** KERNELCONF: /lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/build/.config does not exist.. And indeed in /lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/build/ I only found dumpfile.config and Module.symvers. I'm one step further but I must say this matter is rather resistant!!! Any suggestions? André is this your first time compiling ?
