Apparently it's a well known issue with the madwifi people. You have to add the madwifi repositories to the sources list.
Correct, due to legal issues OpenSUSE can not ship madwifi!
But even that won't solve the problem because apparently the chip that is reported out as an AR5006EG is actually an AR5007xx and presently there are no drivers for it.
Correct too. But that's not an OpenSUSE issue but a madwifi issue. (In reply to comment #4 from Freek de Kruijf)
According to information on Ubuntu forums the madwifi driver for this interface is working for 32-bit only.
Partly correct. You need a patched version (see [1]) of madwifi to get it to work with an AR5007xx-card. (In reply to comment #7 from Freek de Kruijf)
I did analyse the problem with wpa_supplicant further and I found by changing hard coded timeouts in it, that the problem of the interface not coming up is with these timeouts. They are too critical (10 sec. should be 20 sec.).
Not sure what to do with this. Could you please open a new bugreport for the wpa_supplicant issue? [1] http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
