Atheros Wireless Card Recongized, Not Usable.
Last modified: 2008-05-11 07:31:17 UTC
openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 3 ships with the "ath5k" driver for Atheros chipsets. This driver recognizes my Atheros AR2413 802.11bg NIC, and allows me to set it up in YaST, but NetworkManager apparently doesn't recognize any wireless networks. Even after a reboot, the card still doesn't come up.
Could you please attach /var/log/NetworkManager?

Seems like wpa_supplicant cannot be started. Could be a duplicate of bug #375155 and bug #373654. To verify that assumption please run "wpa_supplicant -d -u" while NetworkManager is running and see if you can get the networks then.
Same problem with openSuse 11.0 Beta1 (live KDE-CD i386) With the Atheros 5212/5213 it works fine

Comment on attachment 210718 [details] Networkmanager Log with openSsue 11.0 beta1 liveCD When starting wpa_supplicant manually: linux:/home/linux # wpa_supplicant -d -u dbus_bus_request_name[dbus]: Resource temporarily unavailable Could not request DBus service name: already registered. Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant
With liveCD the wpa_supplicant is running for me. But the device does not find any network. I am using a TP Link TL-WN 551G with a AR2413
Created attachment 212041 [details] Some logs Hopfully helpful I testet the probem with the beta2 liveCD: same problem. I appended some information bout my maschine. And the Log of Networkmanager, when trying to connect to network manually.

Could you test kernel from #373098 comment #16? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 373098 ***
And if you can't, please provide ath_info at least (from the same bug, comment #8 and #9).
