I found the same article ALOT easier to read here: Re: [opensuse] WORKAROUND openSuSE Kernel Change that effects Wireless Install ??? (Atheros AR242x will not work)
Now I’ve had it again!!! >:(
I rebooted and hwinfo says ath5k is loaded box in KnetworkManager greyed. I ONLY modprobe -rv ath5k => KnetworkManager tickbox is not greyed anymore and works and hwinfo says active module ath_pci but only Internet connection via cable.
I gather that only ticking the wireless box doesn’t affect the actual electrons to jump into the AR5007EG chip to actually do something useful… right?!? It is just an illusion. Something else needs to be done to actually turn the antenna on, right!?! What and How??? (The 5€ are soon Adelloh’s?!? And Windows is closing in… after another wasted day).

If you do not want ath5k to load, then you need to blacklist it. Look at file
/etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf and add the line “blacklist ath5k” to the end
of it. Then, no more ath5k.

You keep jumping around so much, it is hard to help you. Of course, ticking the
box does not make it work. It is a necessary step, but certainly not sufficient.
Once you have ath5k blacklisted, reboot and post the output of these commands:
/usr/sbin/iwconfig
sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan
lsmod | grep ath
OK, sorry about the jumping. I have finished trying the know-hows I’ve read. But it all comes back to nothing.
Question: How do I edit 50-blacklist.conf since it needs super user access and I am not able to edit it like I used to in earlier versions of SuSE?
I got the editing sorted… After reboot it looks like this.

OK, you are getting the driver you want loaded. I’m not familiar enough with
ath_pci to know why you are not getting any scan data, but the usual reasons are
missing firmware, or the radio turned off with the RFKILL switch. You will have
to look at the output from the dmesg command to find out the reason.
After a night off and a Windows session dmesg tells me:

Do we need to blacklist Amilo Li2727 in the HCL? Does the wireless in it still work “out of the box”? Is there a solution? I’ll be waiting in Windows sphere… :’(

Please read carefully. I did not ask for the complete posting of the dmesg
output. I asked you to look at it. If there are errors or warnings, they are
usually marked very clearly. The early stuff where it assigns memory and locates
the devices is not usually of interest unless your computer is failing to boot.
For future reference, the material that we need starts at 9.845939 seconds when
ath-pci is loaded. From there, most of the stuff is irrelevant, but it is small
enough to post.
For the record, nothing shows up in the log - it all looks normal.
Do not blacklist anything in the HCL. AFAIK, it works out of the box with the
ath5k driver, at least in current kernels. Why it fails with your system is a
mystery.
Let us start over. I’ll help you as long as you do exactly what I say. My
English and my writing style are both very clear, so it should be easy to do
what I want.
I trust the ath5k driver more than the mad-wifi stuff. All of the Atheros
developers are working exclusively on ath5k, thus I expect that mad-wifi is
suffering from bitrot - it does not take very long.
Please issue the following commands:
uname -r
sudo /sbin/modprobe -rv ath_pci
sudo /sbin/modprobe -v ath5k
Please post the results of the previous commands, and the parts about ath5k at
the END of the dmesg output. Again, I do not want the whole thing, just the
new stuff at the end.
Thank you, lwfinger. I do understand your writing very well and I am sorry about the long posting, but I had absolutely no idea of what to look for so I thought you (or someone) would be able to make out something out of it, and apparently YOU did!!! Good on you! 
I will be able to do EXACTLY what you tell me apart from that I need to use the computer between each tip or test from you. Therefore I need to reboot into Windows between each time since my office is downstairs where I only have wireless connection to my router. For each test and post, I have to take the Amilo upstairs and connect it with cable directly to the router to be able to copy and paste the information from the screen to the forum after each test.
One thing I understand out of the dmesg list is that what’s inside the ] is the processor time from boot-up, so I do understand that after I issue your new suggested commands I will only need to give you the output after the time they have been entered. At least now you know there is nothing else weird in the start-up (which I probably wouldn’t have been able to work out at all). 
I will post the output when I am able to logout from Windows next time (I am “working” in the office at the moment).

You are correct. The dmesg buffer is one place where the kernel writes its
messages. They are maintained for the lifetime of the boot unless the buffer
wraps-around.

> (I am “working” in the office at the moment).
I am aware of the difficulty in posting info when the computer in question does
not have immediate access to the Internet. One thing that might help is for you
to redirect your output to a file. To do that,
some_command > some_file
What that means is that the output of the command on the left side of the “>” is
sent to the file. It overwrites any previous contents of that file. If the
redirect symbol is “>>” instead of “>”, the new stuff is appended. After you
have it in a file, that can be copied to a USB stick and sneakernetted to an
Internet connected machine for posting.
While in tutorial mode, the pipe symbol “|” means to send the data from program
1 to program 2. Thus
dmesg | grep atl
is the same as
dmesg > tmp_file
grep atl tmp_file
rm tmp_file
Furthermore, we don’t have to worry is we are destroying something useful in
tmp_file.
Your tutorials, I like… Bits and pieces here and there makes me wanna try things - but I’ll wait with that until we’ve finished trying the wireless.
This is the output, I left the last line from start-up for you to see that I didn’t fiddle around with something else as well. lol! I see that the last line of boot-up differs from the posted. That might have been because this time I connected the network cord before I pressed the power button (before, I’m not too sure at what stage I plugged it in).

I will now reboot into Windows. I see that there are some new updates wanting to get installed here in Linux. I will not install them until you tell me it is OK.
Arrrgh…After I had turned the computer off and had my first morning sandwich I realized I stuffed up…
You said you wanted the output from the commands I gave before dmesg. When I scrolled up in Konsole before I was not able to see them anymore because of the long dmesg. Now I’m afraid I will alter the system by issuing them again, although I think that after reboot and since ath5k is blacklisted (since earlier posts) I will now issue the commands again - hope I am not wrecking anything in you plan by this. :\

Hmmm… the IPv6 issue is back ([52.xxxxxx])… This time I know I did EXACTLY the same with network cord and power button… Weird…
I will now turn the computer off and have my second sandwich… 
[QUOTE=Maacus0;2133431After reboot with the network cord unplugged Knetwork-manager showed that Wireless was ticked. Ah, great I thought - Finally!!! - but trying Firefox and Google I understood I did not have Internet connection. Back with the cord again to access the Internet flawlessly.
[/QUOTE]
This means that you’re able to connect to a wireless internet router. You will still have to tell it to actually connect by clicking on ‘WLAN Interface. Create network connection’ in knetwork-manager just like in Windows. Even there it will not work unless you tell it to actually connect to something.
Click on ‘WLAN interface. Create Network Connection’, find your wireless network, click on it and click connect.
In the next windows tick the box next to ‘Connect automatically’ to tell your system to do this whenever it sees your network. Enter your password. Your encryption method, if any, should already be selected but check it anyways. Then click ok to save these settings and knetworkmanager should connect.
Again, I would use madwifi as the driver. I find this better than ath5k, but this is a personal preference.

No problem.

The IPX6 situation will only cause network slowdowns. It should not prevent a
connection.
You mentioned updates earlier. Please apply them as soon as possible.
After you do the two modprobe commands, then do the following:
sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig
sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan
Please post that output.
Have a look here and follow the instructions to set the switch (Look at point 6):
Successful wireless AR5007EG Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li2727](http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/wireless/398189-successful-wireless-ar5007eg-fujitsu-siemens-amilo-li2727.html#post1887192)
If you want to use ath5k, don’t install mad_wifi and remove it from your previously added blacklist. Keep in mind that this will cause your wifi connection name to change. It should be wlan0 or something similar. See if you can work it out with these instructions. I realise they are for 11.0 but it’s all I can find and since I don’t have the laptop myself I can’t try them out.
Good luck!
Back with new grips to try some more. I installed the updates before and in between the updating and modprobing I rebooted the computer. This is the output of the commands upon a fresh start of the system.

Dexter1979: I have tried setting the network parameters in KnetworkManager before. But as I have promised lwfinger to follow the commands exactly I will do just that for now.
Before I started this thread though I did install acerhk but couldn’t get that to work either. I followed the instuctions in the thread you refer to, apart from that ticket1192 doesn’t exist anymore and all other error messages and problems that came with it, which in turn put me in a bad mode and made me think, that as a last resort I try starting a new thread (why I was so grumpy in the beginning). I think acerhk still is installed and somewhere before I read that the key combination from Windows Fn+F1 is not used under Linux, you are supposed to use Fn+F2 instead. But from experience I can say that no Fn+FXX turnes the WiFi-LED on. If it actually does make the electrones to flow into the WiFi-chip in an ordered matter to make the chip do the things it is designed for, I do not know how to tell without the LED as an indication. But thank you anyway Dexter1979 for your concern! I do appreciate all input that can make me (or more correctly: others) solve my problem with the WiFi.
lwfinger: Awaiting more instructions…
Others: Please post suggestions…
