[opensuse] BUG: kernel 2.6.22.16-0.1-default Breaks Atheros Wireless

Listmates,

The latest online update to 2.6.22.16-0.1-default breaks the madwifi driver because the driver kernel modules ath_pci and ath_hal are NOT installed and CANNOT be installed with yast because of conflicts.

This would invalidate atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586.
atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586 has unfulfilled requirements
=== atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586 ===
kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586 provides kernel-default == 2.6.22.16-0.1, but is scheduled to be uninstalled.
kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586[update] provides kernel-default == 2.6.22.16-0.1, but another version of that package is already installed.
Can't satisfy requirement kernel-default >= 2.6.22.16-0.1 for atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586
atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586 will be evaluated for installation (freshened) by kernel-default-2.6.22.13-0.3.i586[update] (kernel-default == 2.6.22.13-0.3)
(null)
Conflict Resolution:
( ) delete kernel-default
delete atom:kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1.i586

#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###

Yast's Solution "delete kernel-default". WTF?

And..., of course Yast DELETED the working kernel, and my working kernel modules, from my system, so there is no possibility of going back!
