I have just tried the recently-released openSuSE 13.1 live distribution on my trusty thinkpad. Unfortunately, the ath5k wireless does not work and an infinite flood of "too many interrupts" brings the machine to a crawl. In normal operation I am using madwifi.
I include an excerpt from syslog below. Anything that can be done about it? Thanks!
