madwifi.org/suse/<version> had drivers that worked for me.
http://madwifi-project.org/suse/ has them for versions up to 11.0 and they did work for me.
I think we need to ask Helmut to do them for 11.1 too if you are missing them.
Ciao, Marcus
Marcus, List For Toshiba laptops and others requiring the madwifi driver and the ath_pci module to work, I have a solution for openSuSE 11.1. (1) First, you need to checkout the svn trunk version of the driver: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi (2) The make sure you have the kernel-source installed and also the gcc compiler. To install what is needed, just use yast -> software management -> then choose "filter: patterns" and go to the development section and put a check next to "Base Development", "C/C++ Development", and "Linux Kernel Development". Also look at the details of "Linux Kernel Development" and make sure the kernel-syms package is selected as well. Install them all. (3) change to the madwifi directory where the madwifi source was retrieved with 'svn checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi'. In the madwifi directory compile the package by typing: make then if no errors, type (as root) make install (4) Now blacklist the ath5k module and load the ath_pci module with the following commands (as root): rmmod ath5k (confirm its gone with 'lsmod | grep ath' ) use an editor and add 'blacklist ath5k' to the top of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist modprobe -v ath_pci (5) Now use yast to configure your new network interface "ath0". Go to yast -> network devices -> network settings. Under the Global tab, configure to use traditional ifup and "Change Default Route via DHCP". (you can change this back to knetworkmanager after your done, but there is a yast bug that keep you from being able to set your hostname if knetwork manager is selected) Under the Overview tab, select the new (unconfigured) Atheros 5001X card, then under the General tab select Activate "On Cable Connection" (I know sounds weird) and user control for non-root with kinternet. Next, the address tab, select DHCP or provide a configurations, Then AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, under the Hardware tab, set "Module Name" to "ath_pci". Then just configure you wireless security and your done. (6) After you exit yast, check that you have "ath0" present and configured with an ip address using "ifconfig", That's it! I'll see if I can build a set of i586 rpms for 11.1 and if that works, I'll build the x86-64 and make them available until the openSuSE build service can get the packages built. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whatever the case may be. It sure is good to finally be able to pull the plug on 11.1 and go wireless again ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
