I'm trying to figure out how to get the Atheros drivers to load without locking up the laptop, but I haven't had much luck.
I guess you do not need ndiswrapper for the Atheros chips. The Linux driver is in the non-gpl kernel rpm.
Just fetch
ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-RC1-Extra/kernel-mo dul es+firmware/suse/i586/kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-8.i586.rpm
"rpm -Uhv" it, and then call YaST2 to configure your Atheros "network card".
You'd think this works, but it will not. If I try to shutdown my PC, or if I need to refresh the NIC the whole PC locks up hard using those drivers.
That's why I went to ndiswrapper.
So show down, please: "lspci" and "lspci -n". Here ya' go:

Mine is a Toshiba Laptop..
Very similar to mine (Targa Traveller 826, Turion64). So what does "modprobe ath_pci" tell to the console and to /var/log/messages? Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
