As others have mentioned, try latest OpenSUSE. Also, I'd recommend /against/ using madwifi; the in-kernel drivers are much more actively maintained than madwifi is; Atheros engineers do much of that and the company is actively involved in the Linux kernel drivers. madwifi is actually an out-dated dead-end at this point. Let us know how the upgrade goes. dan > dmesg reveals: > ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. > ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) > > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 > wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' > (HAL status 13) > > ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled > > Comments: > 1. lspci reveals that the wireless chipset is Atheros AR242x (not the > AR5210 etc expected). > It is located at 03:00.0 and the numeric stamp for the AR242x is > 168c:001c > 2.
