regarding drivers, but they have not yet come back to me.
OK, some more research done - the madwifi projekt supports the
Atheros chip, it was easy install etc.
I guess I have to opt for some of the non-oss packets to have SUSE
sort this device out automagically.

Per,
My laptop (LC2210D by linuxcertified.com) has the Atheros. I received
the following driver with the laptop. If it would help let me know and
I can send it to you privately.
madwifi-20050715.tar.gz
The laptop "readme" for the driver file says:
Madwifi drivers from http://madwifi.sf.net/. Required on all models if
you have an Atheros chipset wireless card. SuSE includes the Madwifi
drivers, but the SuSE drivers may not support newer Atheros chipsets.
Use these drivers if you have problems with the SuSE driver.
