富士通笔记本S2210安装SUSE LINUX之无线网卡驱动

由于笔记本之前不能上网，故没有采用YAST2等方式安装，直接采用以下sources的方式

说明：笔记本无线网卡 AR242x，在WINDOWS下识别为AR5006EXS 

Compiling it yourself using the sources

1. Make sure you have installed the kernel-source and the C++ compiler. If not, please install them using YaST.
2. Download the current drivers from this location [1]. （下载最后最新的就可以了）
3. Unpack the archive in a temporary folder.
4. Open up a terminal window.
5. Switch to the temporary folder, and type in:

       
       
       
       
       
   
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        make
       
       
       
       
       

6.     
       
       
       
       
   
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        make install
       
       
       
       
       

7. You can load the kernel modules using:

       
       
       
       
       
   
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        modprobe ath_pci
       
       
       
       
       

Note: in the openSUSE 11.0 may be a conflict with built in module ath5k, which seems is not functional yet, but prevents using madwifi's one. Resolution is to add this module to the blacklist. To do this add the line blacklist ath5k to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot.

Note: for the ath_pci and ath_hal to work for the AR242x, you have to reboot.
