It appears I may have it working now. The last madwifi appears to
have worked. Windows does, in fact, see the device as an Atheros
AR5007 so the diagnosis about mis-identification was correct.
Thanks to all who responded for the help!!

2) When I go into yast2 -> Network Settings I see the wireless device listed twice (see attached snapshot1.png). One entry I cannot edit at all per the message at the bottom of the screenshot:
AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (Not connected) BusID : 0000:02:00.0
Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.
Probably the kernel has wrong identification :-)
