I plan to give openSUSE another try... so.

Did anyone was able to get this wireless card to work?
Using ndiswrapper or some another way? Anyone using this card at the moment?

It works w madwifi here: http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=718244
so it should work in openSUSE

Hello. I just finished installing openSUSE today.

And I tried to install madwifi.. however it seem to not working.

I followed those instraction on installation.
http://en.opensuse.org/Atheros_madwifi

And when I tried to run "sudo modprobe ath_pci" it didn't worked.. this code gave me nothing..

To run modprobe, enter su first to get rootly powers, then run modprobe ath_pci. A nil return shows it's present. A return like this: "FATAL: Module ath_pci not found" would mean it's not.

and the card should have been detected. Click on the network manager icon in the system tray and configure your wireless network. Assuming that you are running DHCP this should be all you have to do! [/b]

Why I can't see "Network manager icon"?

Because you haven't configured the card in Yast. BTW for a static environment like a desktop in a SOHO Lan, networkmanager is a hindrance rather than a help. But if it's a multi-lan wireless environment, network manager is the go. You get to choose whether or not to use network manager while configuring the card in Yast.

It doesn't see to detect my wireless.

Before I had to connect by wire to router.

Are you saying it doesn't show up in YaST > Network Devices > Network Card ?

Yes. Nothing there.

Only my wired connection on motherboard.
But not the card.

Open a console (terminal window) and type su to become root user. Enter your root password when prompted. Now do

lsmod |grep ath_pci (this will let us know if module is loaded)

ifconfig (to see what network device nodes are present)

Post the ouput.

You may need to click on 'Add' with the yast network config tool to create a new wireless interface.
