No. The problem is that the "new" ath5k driver is now included in the kernel. You don't have to build madwifi for the 52xx series chips. However, YaST will see older chips(like the 2413 in my DLink card) and then automatically use the ath5k driver WHICH WILL NOT WORK!
Therefore, someone who doesn't know will just assume that their wireless will work, and then it WON'T. Trust me, I discovered the problem on my Powerbook. It works fine after I compile the madwifi driver. But anyone who uses automatic setup for hardware will have the ath5k driver used for nonsupported cards and then they won't have wireless working.
I know. I have the same issue. YaST detects my card, but I can't find any wireless networks. I filed a bug report months ago, which ended up being a duplicate of bug #373098. -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy Public Mail <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> Yo.media: 225-590-5961 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
