Just Say Know

Note to self:

To get the wireless (AR5212) working on a T60:

1. Compile madwifi from source (don’t bother with the openSUSE 11 repo)
2. Add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf.local:

blacklist ath5k
install ath_pci /sbin/modprobe –ignore-install ath_pci; /usr/sbin/iwpriv ath0 mode 3
options ath_pci autocreate=sta
alias ath0 ath_pci
