The openSUSE package repository has been updated today. It now provides packages for the recently released openSUSE version 11.0.
... a team of volunteer developers working on Linux kernel drivers for Wireless LAN devices with Atheros chipsets. We currently provide two drivers, MadWifi and ath5k.
MadWifi is one of the most advanced WLAN drivers available for Linux today. It is stable and has an established userbase. The driver itself is open source but depends on the proprietary Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that is available in binary form only. The current stable release is v0.9.4.
ath5k is a relatively new and emerging driver and does not depend on the HAL. It is intended to replace MadWifi in the long run and exceed it feature-wise. ath5k is where most of our development resources are spent on now.

This wiki is used to hold all the nifty things that one might want to know about MadWifi. Nearly all content in it can be modified by you, the users of the project. You're welcome to contribute, any help is appreciated.
TracGuide is a valuable resource if you want to become familiar with Trac in general. TracWiki introduces the conecpt of the wiki engine, and WikiFormatting explains the wiki formatting syntax. Last but not least there is a SandBox where you can play around and practice.
