Jan,
My patients has paid off. The mad-wifi module works perfectly. The
modules load without problems:
18:46 Rankin-P35a:/home/david/Documents # lsmod | grep ath
ath_rate_sample 17024 1
ath_pci 101024 0
wlan 209092 5
wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
ath_hal 195664 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
However, I do have a few questions about the 2.6.22 mad-wifi setup.
First, in Yast I now have *2* drivers each for eth0 and wireless.
For the wireless device, there are two entries of:
AR5212 802.11abg NIC
and, Yast will not let me delete either one. The only difference between
the two is that one says:
Device Name: wlan-bus-pci-0000:02.02.0 while the other one says:
Device Name: wlan-id-00:11:f5:15:2d:83
Normal??
Additionally iwconfig returns the following warning:
16:30 Rankin-P35a:/home/david # iwconfig
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 21.
Some things may be broken...
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"rbpllc" Nickname:""

Like I said before, it is working wonderfully and showing better signal
strength than before. So I'm not too concerned about the warning.
Thank you very much for building the driver and saving me the grief of
a downgrade. There are a few more quirks, but I will start a fresh thread.
