After several days working on other WiFI PCI cards I got a Belkin device at
CompUSA for $35.
Details:
Belkin Version 5000
Wireless G
Part #: F5D7000 - P10097-C (This came from sticker on the PC Board)
IC-ID: 4711A-WW4201D (This came from sticker on the PC Board)
Part # F5D7000 (This came from the Box)
My steps:
===========
1. Put card in PCI slot
2. Power Up
3. Setup in Yast (Card was discovered automatically)
4. Entered root shell
5. Card is shown as ath0
6. iwconfig shows the Yast details were picked up
7. From shell:
rcnetwork stop eth0
rcnetwork stop ath0
rcnetwork start ath0
8. Go to web browser...It worked.
For the more technical savy this wifi card uses an Atheros chipset.
