Atheros 5008x installation trouble - koby - 2008-08-29
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
using this as a reference I was able to get most of it to work, but the only items that come up on iwconfig are:
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
when I try to add an item with wlanconfig like ath0 it says that item doesn't exist.
:(

using Opensuse strangely this time when I went to run ifconfig it said it was an invalid command, not sure if it did that before or not.
here is the dump from lspci my network card is in bold.
