AR242x 802.11 abg is not detected

Hi guys!

I know its a lot discussed and I know some of you have sure answered this question 100 times so i am very sorry to ask you again but I tried all what I found on this site and the rest of the hole internet :P.

I installed the Madwifi drivers like its described here:
Atheros madwifi - openSUSE

But when i am looking in YaST Control Center > Network Devices > Network Settings my wireless card is not configured/connected and the kernel device is not present…

Please help me! Thanks in advance!

Have you actually loaded the driver? Check with

lsmod |grep ath

Hi, sorry for answering so late…

Mh… yes i think so. That’s the output:


ath_pci               113056  0
wlan                  216780  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               208208  1 ath_pci

Or does the 0 next to ath_pci mean not? I typed in:


modprobe ath_pci
modprobe ath_hal
modprobe wlan
