I forgot to add: Anyone know how to fix this?? Is there a way to force opensuse 
to recognize the chip as the AR2425? I would just dump this install and start 
over with 11.0 and take the kernels sequentially from the original to the next, 
to the next to 2.6.25.20-0.5 which must force the retention of the correct 
ath5k information. This box worked fine with 11.0 and ath_pci from June 6, 08 
until November when I dumped 11.0 for 11.2. However, I have got hours and gigs 
of tweaks in this install that I don't want to have to recreate. (Yes, fglrx is 
beautiful and my palmrest is coooooollll again.)
