AAARRGGHH!

I can't for the life of me see what is wrong. It should work. OK, I
gotta ask,
"You do have your wifi switch turned on on your laptop, right?"

Let's start by checking what modules are actually loaded on your
computer:

10:02 alchemy~> lsmod | grep ath
ath_rate_sample 31232 1
ath_pci 255168 0
wlan 265840 5
wlan_wep,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
ath_hal 346896 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci



linux-zpoq:/home/andredo # lsmod | grep ath
ath_pci 255168 0
wlan 265840 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 346896 1 ath_pci
ath5k 118532 0
mac80211 220568 1 ath5k

I did
linux-zpoq:/home/andredo # cd /usr/src/linux
linux-zpoq:/usr/src/linux # make mrproper
bash: make: command not found
linux-zpoq:/usr/src/linux # make

All stopped here

Ah hah! I bet you have a conflict with the ath5k driver:

as root:

rmmod ath5k && depmod -A

check with Yast again and try to configure the card. (may need to
reinstall madwifi)

If still hosed, then remove all madwifi:

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep madwifi)

change to the directory where you have the madwifi rpms stashed, and then

rpm -Uvh madwifi*.rpm

I bet once we get rid of that damn ath5k driver, you will be good to go.
I gotta run, but I'll check back in an hour or so.



Andre

You got it running yet?


Not yet!!
From
rpm -Uvh madwifi-kmp-default-r3725+AR5007EG_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.2.x86_64

I got the message 'opening failed'

so I installed it again with Yast2, removed ath5k and got still the same
message:

missing Kernel device (eth0, wlan0)

so I can't come to the choice as you showed in your screenshot.

From Jimmy Pierre I learned

ifup wlan0 -o auto
and that reacted with:
Interface wlan0 is not available

Should that be the trouble?
And how would I make that available?
