Re: [opensuse-factory] ath5k: update [was: Status openSUSE distribution)

First I tell the background: I tried to update my factory system to beta1. There went somthing wrong with the update. The repo changed and then the Kernel changed also. At least i downgraded complete to 11.0 And dir an upgrade to beta1. but not complete, only update. there I recognized that some packages are older than in 11.0 and the problem with wlan was networkmanager. with ifup the ath5k worked, even with wpa. Then I forced an installation from the new Repo, and my system doesn't boot anymore. Next step I will install from beta1 DVD and look what then happens. In the Repo theres something strange with kernel, because grub and sysinfo says 2.6.27-rc6-7 and zypper says 2.6.27.7 on a 32bit system Daniel Am Montag, 22.

whats wrong with kernel ath5k? I was very happy that my Wlan worked out of box in 11.1. Now i find the madwifi-kmp-x.rpm in repo, and kernel implemented ath5k doesn't work for me!

I have found the ath5k driver unreliable on my Netgear 5xxx based card. It doesn't work at all on my DLink 24xx based card. I go in and just delete the ath5k module from the modules directory. Then I compile madwifi. Only issue is that when I update the kernel, the Netgear card still works. I just eventually have problems or I notice that the lights aren't working right, and then I do it again....... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
