However I installed the update but the problem still exists. I have to run yast- network wlan to get the card working. It looks to me that yast is not filling in the right module during boot.

Yast is only editing the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. The module is determined by the "aliases". To learn which module supports your card run lspci and find out the VID;PID of the wlan adapter [1,2]. In this case you can see that the "Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100" with the VID:PID of [8086:4232] is driven by the module iwlagn. Then you can double-check and see that the iwlagn supports the [8086:4232] adapter. It would be good to check your adapter the same way and take a look at the ath3k/ath9k aliases as well.

The reason why I want the 9 is more speed. After I changed the module the problem starts. The card only works when I restart the card via yast and then the card works proper with full speed. I do not understand a lot of the module start up things. However it looks a bit strange to me both module are in use ? I guess the module ath9 starts up the card and then the ath5 is used ?

The wifi card is: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) lspci -s 6:0 -nk 06:00.0 0200: 168c:0013 (rev 01) Subsystem: 1186:3a13 Kernel driver in use: ath5k modinfo ath5k | grep 013 alias: pci:v000010B7d00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i*

The mapping VID:PID -> module must be unique. Your card is supported by the ath5k driver. ath9k won't drive your card. The ath9k is used for soft-mac [1] cards. Unfortunately if you want to test the latest advantages of ath9k you'll have to change the wlan card [2]. I close as INVALID but reopen if you encounter any problem with ath9k.

No it isn't. Unfortunately your card [168c:0013] is not supported by the ath9k driver. As you can see from the "modinfo ath5k" and "modinfo ath9k" your card is listed among the aliases of ath5k only. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
