You will need to download and install it, you can get it here. madwifi.org - Trac Here is a page with some info concerning your card and MadWifi. keep in mind that it may not be the most recent info. Compatibility/Atheros - madwifi.org - Trac MadWifi is not completely open source, so there is a new driver for your generation of chips, called ath5k. I'm not sure if your chip is actually covered by this driver, but you can check to see if it is already loaded in your system. Use this command to see all of the driver module that your system has loaded, and look for ath5k. Code: lsmod Actually to see only that module, use this command. Code: lsmod \| grep ath5k If nothing comes up, it's not loaded. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

In the main menu, select this: Computer --> Install Software In the search area enter madwifi. Check the box next to the madwifi package, and let it install it. For something like this, it may be best for you then to reboot. Then see if you can configure the card in YaST. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

waterhead Trusted Penguin Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Franklin, Wisconsin Posts: 3,958	You need to configure the card in YaST. What is the status of this, as I gave you a lot of options. Did you install MadWifi? What was the output of the lsmod command? Is the ath5k module loaded? __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

If it is an external device (USB or PCMCIA), make sure that it is plugged in before you boot the computer. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.
