*This is your wireless NIC.* You have an Atheros AR5006EG which is reported to work with madwifi. See url below. http://madwifi.org/suse/10.3/i586/ All new as of May 6, 2008. You probably need madwifi, madwifi-devel and the appropriate kernel module based on the kernel you are running (it looks like these are for kernel 2.6.22.16). You can install with yast>>software management>>search on madwifi. You can install with command line zypper with zypper install madwifi madwifi-devel. After you get them installed, I know nothing further. Never worked with atheros wireless. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
