You got it running yet?
Not yet!! From rpm -Uvh madwifi-kmp-default-r3725+AR5007EG_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.2.x86_64
I got the message 'opening failed'
so I installed it again with Yast2, removed ath5k and got still the same message:
missing Kernel device (eth0, wlan0)
so I can't come to the choice as you showed in your screenshot.
From Jimmy Pierre I learned
ifup wlan0 -o auto and that reacted with: Interface wlan0 is not available
Should that be the trouble?: And how would I make that available?
André
No, with madwifi it would be ifup wifi0 -o auto anyway: see
11:02 alchemy~/linux/scripts/test> ifconfig | grep encap: ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:9E:7C:F6:E7 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:38:AF:36:B8 lo Link encap:Local Loopback wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-1B-9E-7C-F6-E7-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

You're sure you tried manually creating ath0 with:
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
unknown command
Show me again the output of lsmod | grep ath:

At least with this exercise, we have found another possibility -- that you are missing the sym link to weak updates
In Konquerer I found a line /lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/weak-updates/ath with a link to ath_pci.ko
Here ends again my knowledge
André
Andre, I think I know what the problem is. You may have been bitten by the same thing. If it is, we will have your wireless running in 5 minutes. First, you will need to install make. IIRC you don't have that installed. So first as root: zypper in make cmake automake unsermake To confirm the problem I suspect, as root do: cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper If you get something like this: 22:58 alchemy/usr/src/linux] # make mrproper make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop. Problem confirmed. To fix the link problem, as root do: cd /usr/src The next are all ONE-LINE commands so make sure you copy them as one line. What I do is just copy from the email to kedit, then you can make it one-line and then copy the confirmed one-line from kedit and paste it in the command line: if [[ -d linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 ]]; then ln -s linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 linux; else echo "SOURCE NOT FOUND"; fi if [[ -d linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj ]]; then ln -s linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj linux-obj; else echo "SOURCE-OBJ NOT FOUND"; fi If you get the NOT FOUND messages, then stop and post back to the list. If the sym links are created, then as root: cd linux make mrproper If that works this time, then: make cloneconfig > /dev/null 2>&1 make modules_prepare make clean Then install madwifi from the rpms and I will (almost) guarantee you your problem is solved. If I'm right, what happened is the last kernel update failed to update the needed links in /usr/src to point to the latest kernel source and object directories when the kernel was updated from 2.6.25.16-0.1 to 2.6.25.18-0.2. This prevented the post-install scripts in the madwifi rpms from being able to compile the ath_pci.ko kernel module needed to make your wireless work. Meaning you were doing everything correctly to install madwifi, but were prevented from doing so by 2 (two) little sym links in /usr/src. If this is confirmed, then please add your comments to the bug I opened: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444912 We'll skin this cat yet! -- David C.
