After kernel update yesterday to 2.6.25.16-0.1-default my wireless connection has gone. 'No wave carrier for eth0' Which (simple) correction should I make to restore that? Thanks, André den Oudsten

You lost a kernel module in the kernel upgrade. The quick fix is to reinstall whatever network card driver package is required. (I can't guess since you didn't tell us which card you have). You can use lspci to find your network card chipset and then load the needed driver. In your case the install provides a needed (*.ko) module that is now missing. Find the kernel module and find your eth0 you will ;-)
I work with openSUSE 11.0 and my wificard is Atheros AR242x 802.11 abg Wireless Express Adapter (rev 01) I tried to install net5211.inl with NDISGTK, but the reaction was 'No valid driver'.
Never, never use ndiswrapper, execpt ther is really no other working driver.
For the needed *.ko module I have no idea where to search.
Look for a package with a name starting with madwifi-kmp-default-ng (or any other kernel flavor you need instead of default). This is the same driver like the one needed for some EEE PCs. I expect this driver to work, but i am not completely sure. And not forget to blacklist the ath5k driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist., else you would have two drivers loaded for the same device.
