The upgrade for my Toshiba laptop went fairly well. KDE4 is pretty much trash (no window "decoration", like a close button, only 1 desktop instead of 8, that kind of stuff), but KDE3 looks good, and all my stuff seems to be there.
But not madwifi, so there was no connecting to the nis server. I plugged in with a cable, and was able to log on and try to reinstall madwifi.
I've had no luck with that. I know about the domain change to madwifi-- project.org, but apparently there's no /suse/11.1 folder there yet. None of the installation methods worked at all.
Has anybody else taken this on and figured out a solution?
Hmm, isn't your card support by the ath5k driver built-into the kernel?
Ciao, Marcus
Marcus, The ath5k drive does *not* work for many toshiba laptops. I have two - a P35, and a P205D. Both have atheros cards and both require madwifi. The ath5k drives have never worked. The only working solution for 10.3 and 11.0 has been a package built with the ath_pci module. Every since 10.3, the only place I have found a working driver has been: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/ I knew this was going to be a big bust for 11.1. I am just now doing my first 11.1 laptop install on the P35, which is the easier of the two to configure wireless (old model). I'll report back later tonight or in the morning. But my first thought is you will have to build from the .src.rpm out of the above repo after modifying the spec file version info before you will ever find a working madwifi for 11.1 -- David C.
