Hi there. As I see lots of posts about model AR5005G I want to confirm that this model works well with new drivers dated on 05.04.2007. The card model I use is 4104a-ar5bmb5 fitted into Acer Aspire 3050 (3053WXMi). The way to install it on SuSE 10.2 is: 1.Get kernel free of other installations like ndiswrapper or source compiled madwifi as source compiled modules do not work well, ndiswrapper is trashing whole interface for wifi and you will have to reinstall kernel from the scratch. 2.Use yast to add installation source from madwifi for suse 10.2 3.Install rpms from madwifi.org (from software management - look for madwifi and all will come up on the list) and reboot or modprobe the module ath_pci. 4.Add new network card under yast, should be on the list but not configured. 5.Reboot if u like. this is output form hwinfo --wlan: 27: PCI 804.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.286] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_168c_1a Unique ID: Kbch.hioDloPJzGF Parent ID: qscc.hV5J61pTkh5 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:08:04.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:08:04.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "AMBIT Microsystem AR5005G 802.11abg NIC" Vendor: pci 0x168c "Atheros Communications, Inc."
