Good, all of your links are set correctly, now all should work. If you are having problems, then it is because their is still a piece of the puzzle missing. Let's start out confirming what part of the driver build is breaking down and take it step-by-step. If you have time today, I do as well. Let's get this thing done.
Base Development
Just click the check box next to it and it will install all the pertinent packages. (then I also show the details and select and install "build" that is left out for some reason) This will install all of your basic software compilers and make life a lot easier.
I have made good notice of that!!!

It will serve you well. If we continue to have any problems compiling this driver against your kernel or if you fail any of the step-by-step test below, then what I want you to do is go back into yast and: In repositories: (1) disable the madwifi repository if you have added that repository Then with your install DVD in the tray (if you don't have a fast internet connection or if you don't have the OSS repo added) go to software-management and then select Filter: "Patterns" and confirm the check mark, or put a check mark next to (2) Base System (3) Enhanced Base System (4) Console Tools (5) Base Development (6) C/C++ Development (7) RPM Build Environment (8) Linux Kernel Development Go get a cup of coffee and let the packages install. This will guarantee install all of the development pieces needed to build the madwifi driver (my opinion these should be installed by openSuSE by default) The step-by-step tests (as root of course): Check the kernel packages -- again... 15:22 alchemy~/linux/scripts> rpm -qa | grep kernel # root not required here kernel-syms-2.6.25.18-0.2 kernel-default-2.6.25.18-0.2 kernel-source-2.6.25.18-0.2 linux-kernel-headers-2.6.25-8.1 If any are missing, go install them. Then let's make sure they work: (1) cd /usr/src/linux (2) make mrproper (3) make cloneconfig (4) make modules_prepare (5) make clean If any errors (eg. No Target to make XXX), post output and got to "In repositories:" above and work steps 1-8. If all OK, then (1) rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep madwifi) #remove all madwifi (2) Hell --- Let's reboot just to make sure (3) lsmod | grep ath #if you still have ath(anything), post and wait (4) install all madwifi rpms from either schmole or my site compare after install to: 16:58 alchemy~/linux/scripts> rpm -qa | grep madwifi madwifi-debuginfo-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 madwifi-debugsource-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 madwifi-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 madwifi-devel-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2 madwifi-kmp-default-r3725+AR5007EG_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.2 (5) lsmod | grep ath # if nothing, then to (6), else goto (7) (6) modprobe -v ath_pci && lsmod | grep ath && depmod -A # if any errors, post and wait (7) compare the module list to: 16:44 alchemy~/linux/scripts> lsmod | grep ath ath_rate_sample 31232 1 ath_pci 255168 0 wlan 265840 5 wlan_wep,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci ath_hal 346896 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci # if you are missing wlan, but have ath_pci, reboot and check again this may be less error prone than manually running wlanconfig. If you have everything now or after reboot, press on, if not post and wait. (8) Now go rerun the Yast steps to configure the wireless Andre, In this email, we will either have a working wireless setup for you, or identify exactly where the problem is. The fun we have had with your Atheros wireless setup -- strains the imagination. I have thought through the above steps and think this will do it. I just don't know where else a package dependency or compile dependency could be hiding. Also, I have a deal for you. When we get your wireless working, you get to take this string of emails and put together the: "Definitive openSuSE Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter -- Howto" Good Luck ;-) -- David C.
