[opensuse] Wireless NIC at Acer AspireOne
Hi, I just my hands on an Acer AspireOne. I've installed openSUSE 11.0 on it. All work well expect the wireless card. I've installed wifi ( its an Atheros card AR242x witch uses the ath5k kernel module ). The card appears as wlan0 and wmaster0. I try to connect it with NetworkManager but no luck it does not connect. Bellow is the NetworkManager log: Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) starting connection 'R&D' Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 4 Jul 25 16:45:03 aspireone NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...

Thanks for your time,

delete ath5k and follow the instructions works for me That specific version of madwifi worked :) Thanks. I only have problems with suspend-to-ram but, with an rmmod and modprobe of the driver, it's working...
Once again, thanks for your help. -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ Veni, vidi, Linux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just a few corrections. Suspend-to-RAM works with almost every hardware driver. Here are a few exceptions: - The Sound Card does not suspend/wake correctly. There is almost no sound. It appears that only the headphones jack work... - The wireless card does not suspend/wake correctly. A workaround is to issue an modprode -r ath_pci followed by a modprobe ath_pci.

Mine has not been too good with the ath5k driver, but I know from having had 10.3 on the same lappy that the ath_pci driver works for me.
I to have have a lot of trouble with this same wireless pci card in my Toshiba P205D in SuSE 10.3 I could not get it to work with any flavor of madwifi, ath5k or nswraper. In SuSE 11.0 nothing worked either, until now this version of Madwifi WORKS!!!!! Thanks a lot, my wife is so glad that I don't have a network cable strung across the kitchen into the living room and now I can even go out on my deck and browse. -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is Robert Cunningham Sr. Physics Laboratory Coordinator /RSO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
