hi everyone,
my laptop just made me crazy…
hwinfo --wlan --short
network:
wlan0 Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter
it tells me the hardware called “AR5001”, then i search the google, it should be supported…
but “enable wlan” can’t be checked,it is just below the “enable networking”
then i type “ifconfig -a” can get:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5C:AC:4C:A4:7C:17
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
and “/usr/sbin/iwlist scan”:

Is OK
But lets give it a nudge:
su -
modprobe -rv ath5k
modprobe -v ath5k
worth a reboot
Make sure you let kwallet manage the secrets
Oh…I followed your advice but it still can’t work…
linux-5yfj:/home/thelover_z # modprobe -rv ath5k

and i still get this…everything seems ok, but it just can’t work…

Make sure in
Yast > Network devices > Network Settings
You can see it herehttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/lw-wireless-cofig.mpeg
and i noticed if i run “modprobe -rv ath5k” “modprobe -v ath5k”
/usr/sbin/iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
so i have to type “ifconfig wlan0 up” then i can get:

I’m sure i’m using network manager…
i have watched that video…everything is ok here…
Create a new user login and try with that
You could also try adding this repoIndex of /repositories/driver:/wireless/11.4-update
Update from it and see if that helps
