madwifi/ suse 10.3
After running the config I get:
1:madwifi ###################################[100%]
But when I run IWCONFIG I get:
lo no wireless extentions
eth0 no wireless extentions
eth0 no wireless extentions
I thought there should be an ath0 if the driver is working.
I am appreciating the help.
