Andre,
I think I know what the problem is. You may have been bitten by the same thing. If it is, we will have your wireless running in 5 minutes. First, you will need to install make. IIRC you don't have that installed. So first as root:
zypper in make cmake automake unsermake
To confirm the problem I suspect, as root do:
cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper
If you get something like this:
22:58 alchemy/usr/src/linux] # make mrproper make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop.
I got: make: gcc: Opdracht niet gevonden (Command not found) I interpreted it as 'Problem confirmed' and went on
Problem confirmed. To fix the link problem, as root do:
cd /usr/src
The next are all ONE-LINE commands so make sure you copy them as one line. What I do is just copy from the email to kedit, then you can make it one-line and then copy the confirmed one-line from kedit and paste it in the command line:
if [[ -d linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 ]]; then ln -s linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 linux; else echo "SOURCE NOT FOUND"; fi
if [[ -d linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj ]]; then ln -s linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj linux-obj; else echo "SOURCE-OBJ NOT FOUND"; fi
I got: ln: symbolische koppeling './linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj' aanmaken: Bestand bestaat al bash: linux-obj: command not found and went while the link exist
If you get the NOT FOUND messages, then stop and post back to the list. If the sym links are created, then as root:
cd linux make mrproper
and here again I got: make: gcc: Opdracht niet gevonden (Command not found) So I have to wait a while before I can skin that cat!!! (Thanks for your sustaining support!!!)
If that works this time, then:
make cloneconfig > /dev/null 2>&1 make modules_prepare make clean
Then install madwifi from the rpms and I will (almost) guarantee you your problem is solved.
If I'm right, what happened is the last kernel update failed to update the needed links in /usr/src to point to the latest kernel source and object directories when the kernel was updated from 2.6.25.16-0.1 to 2.6.25.18-0.2. This prevented the post-install scripts in the madwifi rpms from being able to compile the ath_pci.ko kernel module needed to make your wireless work. Meaning you were doing everything correctly to install madwifi, but were prevented from doing so by 2 (two) little sym links in /usr/src. If this is confirmed, then please add your comments to the bug I opened:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444912
We'll skin this cat yet!
