So you'll know, ubuntu didn't work for this card either. I think it is an issue with support for the atheros 5006 chipset. I understand some older atheros chips work, but this one has ben driving me nuts.
Regarding my wish for more than just the usual advice from internet docs, I promise that I have read them all, and tried them all, many times. I didn't come here as a newby, who is too lazy to research, trying to get someone to read the docs for me. I've been battling this problem for three weeks. I really already did RTFM. Many times. I'm not a wireless expert, but I'm not a novice either (I'm writing this from a suse wireless laptop, but it has an intel chipset). So rather than a lot of people sending me the same docs I've seen, and then me just responding with "I've tried that" over and over. I was really hoping to find someone who has been through what I've been through and found a way to make it work. Or maybe someone who knows of a distribution that works. I prefer suse, but I need wireless more than I need suse. I think I'm in a situation now where, after all this time of trying, it is too late to return the PC. So I need to do something.
So, that's where I'm coming from. And I really do appreciate the responses so far.

James
I have not been following this thread religiously so if you have already been pointed to this site please feel free to be as rude as you like : ) Try http://madwifi.org/ download and build the driver and it should work. This is the only way I got my Atheros wifi card working. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
