It's recognized and configured with YaST2 using the ath5k module. Everything I look at shows that wlan0 is up and running except for an error that 'dhcp4 client is not running'. ifconfig looks like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:31:6F:3C:02 inet addr:192.168.1.69 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::217:31ff:fe6f:3c02/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14843 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11946 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:12916277 (12.3 Mb) TX bytes:2106314 (2.0 Mb) Interrupt:23 Base address:0xc000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:141 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:141 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10780 (10.5 Kb) TX bytes:10780 (10.5 Kb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:01:12:A5:27 inet addr:192.168.1.68 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::224:1ff:fe12:a527/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1706 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:76506 (74.7 Kb) TX bytes:7878 (7.6 Kb) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-24-01-12-A5-27-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP RUNNING MTU:0 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) And this is what I get when I do rcnetwork restart (eth0 disconnected): rcnetwork restart Shutting down network interfaces: eth0 device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) eth0 done wlan0 device: Atheros Communications Inc.
