I am starting a new post, the original post drifted off the subject.

I installed SuSE 11 RC1 and everything except wireless works.
I have a ThinkPad T60 laptop with 11abg wireless card which works with
my default distro mepis 7.01 and wireless works "right out of the box".

This is what I tried:

yast 2 -- Network services: No wireless shown
Network Devices: No wireless shownIs it Network Settings: AR5212 802.11 abg -- NIC not configured

I have same problem with AR-5212. Wifi driver ath5k doesn't work. You
have 2 choice for this kind problem :

1. Manually install madwifi driver from tar.gz (madwifi.org), with
standar ./configure, make and make install. You must have gcc, make
and kernel-source for this

2. Marek Stopka has built madwifi driver for openSUSE. Please take a
look here : http://www.m4r3k.org/english/opensuse-linux/madwifi-driver-for-opensuse-110/


I choose the first option and my AR-5212 worked flawlessly.

I tried # 1 and got "make not found"

Here is the latest I found using yast2:

Install software:
Search madwifi --- found madwifi

Network settings:
Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present.
This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.

AR5212 802.11abg NIC (Not connected)

# lsmod

ath5k 97156 0
mac80211 178196 1 ath5k

# dmesg
ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy0'
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a1 on CPU 0.
You have some hardware problem, likely on the PCI bus.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -5

================================

From the above info, looks like madwifi and ath5k are installed.

Do I still have to make install madwifi?
