Hey Guys. 
I’m having some prob’s with my internal Network Card.
It’s an Atheros 5007EG running in HP’s Compaq Presario CQ60.
I installed all necessary drivers and it’s listed on my Network Configurations and I’m able to configure it.
Now My Problem:
The Card is not able to find any Wireless Networks, so I cannot connect to any of them.
A USB Wireless Lan Stick works perfectly so I don’t think the problem is located at the Network Manager.
By the Way my Notebook has a Button, where I can turn my Wireless Lan Card off, maybe that is part of the Problem.
Happy Afternoon
Benjamin 
No, the button is not the problem. Try running
iwlist scan
from a console instead.
What does it say?
Hey…
Thanks for your fast answering. rotfl!
Here my result from the command:
benny@linux-9eba:~> iwlist scan
bash: iwlist: command not found
Looks like something’s missing.
Is there a package I am going to have to install ?
Thanks,
Benny
My bad. Whenever a command is not found, try running it as root: it may be in a directory not accessible by ordinary users.
So:
type su and then iwlist scan. OK?
No problem. Making mistakes is Human 
So. Here are the Results again:
benny@linux-9eba:~> sudo iwlist scan
sudo: iwlist: command not found
benny@linux-9eba:~>
Doesn’t seems too good, does it ? 
Happy Noon in My Time Zone,
Benjamin
It won’t work as sudo here neither. But it does work if you type su to get root first, and THEN type iwlist scan.
I think sudo just gets you DIFFERENT user credentials, not necessarily ROOT credentials…
Yeah… It works.
Finally, here are the results:
benny@linux-9eba:~> su
Passwort:
linux-9eba:/home/benny # iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn’t support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
wmaster0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
wlan0 No scan results
Thanks, Benjamin
Uhmmm … It apparently doesn’t detect any networks. Could you please post the results of:
iwconfig
Typed in iwconfig and here are the results:
benny@linux-9eba:~> su
Passwort:
linux-9eba:/home/benny # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

Hmm … It’s just as I suspected, you’ve hit the stumbling block of OpenSuSE wireless – the YaST configuration. Apparently, your wireless card is OK, you now just have to get into YaST > Network Devices > Network settings. It may ask you to modprobe your ndiswrapper configuration: answer yes. Now, you’ll see some preexisting configs there, probably your ethernet card and maybe your wireless device too. If there is a wireless device, you must delete it and then Add a new one. Now a sort of wizard will pop up – you just fill in your driver (ndiswrapper or whatever), your ESSID, your encryption protocol (if any), and select the connection to activate at boot via Network Manager. You’ll probably have to reboot and then, if you’ve filled everything correctly, Network Manager should connect. If it doesn’t just click on it and connect manually. If it still doesn’t work, go to YaST again and check if your wireless device is listed with its MAC number; if you see “hardware not present/not found” instead, you have to delete the connection and repeat the process. Alternatively, some users say one could try clicking on Network Manager > New Connection and try proceeding from there, but i must admit I’ve never made it work that way.
Good luck!
Hm…
It does not want to get to work so I am going to type my configurations now:
I go Yast and Network Settings.
Than I got some Devices Listed there:
AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter - Not configured
Ethernet-NetworkCard - DHCP
Now I go and Delete the AR242x and I’m able to configure it new.
Click at configure and I can set my IP Adress and in the rider overhead the Window ( General , Adress, Hardware )
I just go on with klicking Next on the buttom right corner
So now I can Configure my wireless Network card.
There is (in My German Version) " Betriebsmodus " where I can choose " Ad-Hoc , Administrated and Master"
ESSID, which would be W-Lan in my case and
Authentifizierungsmodus Where I can Choose " WEP " and Stuff
So I hope you are able to find my mistakes and it will run.
Thanks,
Benjamin;)
I’m afraid it’s you who’ll have to find any mistakes in your configuration, since I don’t have access to your system. Anyhow, all that remains to be done now is match your wireless card configuration in YaST with the configuration of your network (in other words, your wireless router, since I assume you have one). So if your router is configured to use DHCP, so must be your card; if your router is configured to use ESSID MyHomeWLAN, so must be your card; if your router uses protocol 802.11g, so must your card. It’s up to you now to make the both match and communicate. I hope you know how to enter the configuration page of your router and to configure the available options. Take care to disable any MAC filtering (if enabled) as this may prevent your card to connect to the router.
Good luck!
