This is what I tried:
yast 2 -- Network services: No wireless shown Network Devices: No wireless shownIs it Network Settings: AR5212 802.11 abg -- NIC not configured
I have same problem with AR-5212. Wifi driver ath5k doesn't work. You have 2 choice for this kind problem :
1. Manually install madwifi driver from tar.gz (madwifi.org), with standar ./configure, make and make install. You must have gcc, make and kernel-source for this
2. Marek Stopka has built madwifi driver for openSUSE. Please take a look here : http://www.m4r3k.org/english/opensuse-linux/madwifi-driver-for-opensuse-110/
I choose the first option and my AR-5212 worked flawlessly.

I got the madwifi tar.gz and un-tared it. Tried to run "make" and got error message "command not found" How do I install make? Is it part of another package? I use mepis 7.01 which uses synaptic package management of .deb packages. I wish SuSe would use synaptic. Pclinux uses synaptic to handle .rpm packages. Synaptic handles dependencies better than RPM. I must learn how to use SuSe package installations. I can get on the internet with a wired ethernet so I can get packages from the SuSe depositories.
