For those have Atheros-based wireless cards and can't use them because the nongpl modules have been removed in Beta3/Beta4, here are some instructions to easily get them working: 1. Go to the madwifi site and download the latest driver: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-ng-current.tar.gz 2. Create a SUSE build script from: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/SuSE 3. Install the sharutils-4.6-2 (CD-3) and kernel-source (CD-5) RPMs. 4. Unpack the madwifi drivers, copy the build script into that directory, and execute. 5. Use NetworkManager or the ifup scipts to manage your wireless card. It takes all of 5 minutes to accomplish! Kirk Coombs
