Apparently it's a well known issue with the madwifi people. You have to add
the madwifi repositories to the sources list. But even that won't solve the
problem because apparently the chip that is reported out as an AR5006EG is
actually an AR5007xx and presently there are no drivers for it. I'm going to
return the laptop to Office Depot as SuSE is the only Linux distro I have found
that will install successfully on the machine, and at that the wireless card
won't work. I wish Novel would cut a deal with HP and other Laptop vendors to
market laptops with Linux preinstalled. Windows is not something I want and
it's frustrating when you buy hardware only to find that it can't work with
Linux.
