I think we found the problem and it looks like a hardware recognition problem opensuse is having with the AR2525 chip on the wireless card. I have opened a bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567137
In short the dmesg error from opensuse is:
ath5k_pci 0000:17:00.0: registered as 'phy0' ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:17:00.0 failed with error -5
There is no recognigition of the AR2425 chip. Comparing, Arch Linux dmesg information shows the chip as:
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70)
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.) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
