from which ftp? perhaps try another mirror. feel free to pick the mirror of your choice from http://www.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Development_Build But one thing to say: In order to make Bittorrent faster, consider seeding after you have downloaded. When everyone quits, as he is complete, Bittorrent will stay that slow. HTH, Christian

I downloaded it last night using bit torrent and was getting 70-100KBs I had my set up upload speed to be max 12KBs. I'm on 2Mbs down and 256Kbs up in the UK. I only mention this so you can get some sort of comparison. *Warning basic bit torrent question follow, ignore if you use BT regulary Are you behind a firewall and have to you let the BT ports through?

I guess you do not need ndiswrapper for the Atheros chips. The Linux driver is in the non-gpl kernel rpm. Just fetch ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-RC1-Extra/kernel-modules+firmware/suse/i586/kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-8.i586.rpm "rpm -Uhv" it, and then call YaST2 to configure your Atheros "network card".

It is the same chip and even the same revision as mine. So why don't you simply try to discard ndiswrapper and start YaST2, Network, Network card? This way you would not even need to say "modprobe ath_pci" - YaST2 would do it for you. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

I think you misunderstood my post with another. I never used/tried ndiswrapper. I knew my nic was supported via the madwifi driver, regardless of the source of the driver (whether the driver came from the non-gpl kernel rpm or the madwifi source package). I tried the non-gpl kernel rpm. I did not try the madwifi source package -- as I said previously. I didn't have the time to fix the errors in the make file. But I digress...
This way you would not even need to say "modprobe ath_pci" - YaST2 would do it for you.
And modprobing ath_pci didn't help. There is a button on this machine that 'activates' the wireless devices, both wlan and bluetooth. I've read where others have managed to get both bluetooth and wireless working; however, most have had problems due to that button (when to press the button during installation/configuration). And, the installations that I've read about all detailed Fedora Core and/or Ubuntu, not SUSE. -- Christopher Shanahan

Yes. I had already thought so... But nevertheless, Atheros WLAN is fine with 10.0.

Be assured that SUSE kernel RPMs always have the superior quality.

My Turion64 notebook has a "wlan on/off" button, too (for an "Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)" totally unusable under Linux). But putting it "off" with the button does not hide the PCI device (still visible with lspci) - it only inhibits the "antenna". If your WLAN button really can hide the whole PCI device, you have to press it during the BIOS phase before booting. Do you have a light indicator for "WLAN off/on"? For me, a push of the WLAN button does turn on the WLAN LED even under Linux, but unfortunally there is no Linux driver for this Inprocomm thingie.

I still haven't found any HP docs that explain _exactly_ what function(s) the external wireless button serves. The User Guide only says that it 'activates' the wireless functionality, both wlan and bluetooth. I don't know enough about engineering to know if the button could disable wireless completely during boot. I only know that lspci can see the device whether the button is pushed or not.

Sad, but true. HP has a lot to do with several large OSS projects, the kernel only being one of them. From time to time they market themselves as a company that 'supports' Linux on their hardware. However, they offer no support for this machine outside of Windows. Of course, I could have purchased this machine with FreeDOS installed -- making it easier for me, the end-user, to install my own OS, such as Linux. Ironically, now HP is even marketing Ubuntu on select machines, both desktops and laptops. http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=595 I even purchased SLES9 from HP as part of a server purchase. Whew... Gotta love contracts.
Can you turn the WLAN LED on by pushing the button during the BIOS phase during boot?
No. I get nothing from the button until _after_ the OS begins to boot -- in this case, WinXP Pro. When I start Linux, I get nothing from the button, whether before, during or after the OS boots.

I love your work, and at home I depend on it (Asus A7N8X). Your driver is working flawlessly here. Iam using it since the first 2.6 kernel version. Reminding me for my own task 10 (in fact more than 12) years ago: "Soundblaster Pro CDROM driver" - started at easter, first release "Pfingsten" (50 days later). And then came the double-speed drives, then lots of "almost compatible" vendors, then the quad speed Teac drive... I guess you feel "done" since long (right) - I couldn't before...
So if you can test this new opensource driver, please do so to help speed up development there.
Yes, please. Without feedback, opensource development is too hard to stand. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

I guess you do not need ndiswrapper for the Atheros chips. The Linux driver is in the non-gpl kernel rpm.
Just fetch
ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-RC1-Extra/kernel-mo dul es+firmware/suse/i586/kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-8.i586.rpm
"rpm -Uhv" it, and then call YaST2 to configure your Atheros "network card".
You'd think this works, but it will not. If I try to shutdown my PC, or if I need to refresh the NIC the whole PC locks up hard using those drivers.

I have no idea now. I had all that info before, but where it is now I don't know. I haven't tried the ath_pci modules since I last rebuilt this thing. I'm planning on upgrading to 10 RC1 today or tommorrow, depending on what happens tonight. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

Is there a way to download the isos for RC1 that is faster than 10Kbs? I have tried Bittorrent, Downloading the ISO's from the ftp, and it is terribly slow.
BitTorrent worked great for me. But KTorrent is really a very aweful client. I stopped using it. Azureus is much better for me!! I am seeding with a quite fast connection now, and see every day ca 150 peers online so it should be fast. mirror.switch.ch is very advisable too. i have to agree. especially when you are near swizreland. i had 4x750kb/s (4 Fedora Iso's at the same time) when i was living in the west of austria... ciao, nico. -- (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is Bunny.
