Hi there
I am currently using linux gentoo 2.6.13-rc3 and I am very much willing to
switch to openSuse, but first I have to check some points:
The madwifi driver, which I need for my Atheros a/b card is NOT in the kernel,
I always had to "emerge" it seperately, how does Suse handle it? I saw under
http://www.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/IBM that my T40P with it's card was
supported under SuSe, but I still wanted to get this straight: Will my card
0000:02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5211 802.11ab
NIC (rev 01)
work, what overlay/init-script will be used and will I have to install extra
stuff for configuration (WEP, Channel, AP restriction, etc: on a local config
file or only using iwconfig, iwlist, wireless-tools)?
Thanks for your consideration
Best regards
Patrick Fehr
