[opensuse] Trying to make a wireless connection
I have an Acer Aspire 5315 I was able to connect my Atheros AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter to the Wifi source with the help of a driver net5211.inf I found on ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_4710/driver/Wireless_Atheros.zip. The Aspire 5351 went for repair of the DVD drive and when it came back there was the Atheros AR242x 802.11 abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter and what ever I tried with ndiswrapper and NDISGTK the driver net5211.inf was not accepted. Any suggestion where and how I can get a proper driver?

Have you tried with the "ath_pci.ko" kernel module instead of the "ath5k.ko"? Also, I haven't run across the AR242x card yet. I would post a question to the madwifi guys and see what the state of development is there. They have been quite helpful in the past. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

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 You need the kernel source.
zypper -n kernel-source kernel-syms linux-kernel-headers Afterwards, go to /usr/src/linux and 'make oldconfig' or 'make cloneconfig'--whichever one works, I can't remember. Next, do 'make prepare' (not sure if that is entirely necessary, but I usually do it). Then your driver should compile.

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?

Why do wifi users do this can't connect thing? For less than 10 Euros you can get an edimax usb adapter that looks like a usb memory stick, plug it in and go. And why do they get all the attention when asking questions that they could have found out elsewhere? And I don't?

Here is the short version. You will be creating an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file. For madwifi/Atheros, enter the following commands: wpa_passphrase "your_ESSID" "Some_Decent_PassPhrase_of_up_64_Characters" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf It will create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and it will contain something like this: 11:08 alchemy/usr/src/packages> sudo wpa_passphrase "wildlife" "mysecretstringofcharacters" network={ ssid="wildlife" #psk="mysecretstringofcharacters" psk=72fc7e96e4e51d554de1a5dd9ee5eeceaa14f16f764eccb9dbf317c13673ffb6 } Now edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and add the following lines into the network section created above: key_mgmt=WPA-PSK # proto=WPA proto=RSN Uncomment the proto=WPA line (and comment out the RSN line) to enable WPA. Leave as is for WPA2 (stronger encryption). Hope that helps. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Here is the short version.
You will be creating an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file. For madwifi/Atheros, enter the following commands:
wpa_passphrase "your_ESSID" "Some_Decent_PassPhrase_of_up_64_Characters" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
It will create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and it will contain something like this:
11:08 alchemy/usr/src/packages> sudo wpa_passphrase "wildlife" "mysecretstringofcharacters" network={ ssid="wildlife" #psk="mysecretstringofcharacters"
psk=72fc7e96e4e51d554de1a5dd9ee5eeceaa14f16f764eccb9dbf317c13673ffb6 }
Now edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and add the following lines into the network section created above:
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK # proto=WPA proto=RSN
Uncomment the proto=WPA line (and comment out the RSN line) to enable WPA. Leave as is for WPA2 (stronger encryption).
Hope that helps.
