YaST's log when trying to configure the card while it is up and running

I have an Atheros based WLAN card. I compiled the current Madwifi kernel
modules and loaded them. YaST now detects the network card and shows it as 'not
configured'. I went through the whole configuration dialog masks (IP address,
WPA passphrase etc.). After that the card appeared in YaST's network devices
table with an IP address and all seemed to be well. But after clicking on
'Finish' YaST did not write any file to /etc/sysconfig/network.
After copying the ifcfg- file from SUSE 10.2 and renaming it to ifcfg-ath0 I
could set-up the network card correctly and it works fine. But still YaST shows
the card as 'not configured', even while it is up and running. Going through
the configuration dialog again does not cause any modifications to the
ifcfg-ath0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network.
