wireless stopped working (wireless card OK, as Vista wireless still working).
I have tried to re-install a couple of time every other day or so for a week. Simpler and simpler installs, trying madwifi in repo on install OR part way thru online updates OR after all updates are complete and at best, wireless tries to work - will show one AP point and not always the strongest signal.
modprobe info below - first I have noticed this ath9k
(This last install I did a complete online update and never added madwifi - still no wireless, but I did see madwifi update - strange. Then I check YAST2 Software Manager and find madwifi kmp-pae kernel -which is the correct one, but still wireless was broken. So I re-installed this madwifi kmp-pae -still broke- and then added madwifi Tools. Still broken.

HWinfo - confusing to me - I don’t see ath9k any where.
