I already did that. I had everything installed. That is why I was unsure of the issue. I do not know why it is so hard to do some of the smaller things in Ubuntu. I do not mean to sound negative so do not take it that way. I just installed Suse 10.1 with Gnome. I copied madwifi from cd to my home folder. Entered and opened a shell. Did su with root password of course. Did make, it did, did make install, it did, did modprobe ath_pci it did it, and exited. All done. I downloaded NVIDIA 32 bit version to home. Logged out, ctrl-alt-f1, log in as root, init 3, cd home, sh NVIDIA-ETC---, ran the installation, compiled driver module, ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia which boots to the video config, ok, init 5 which boots back to the desktop. That is easy as pie and no hassle. I hate it because I really like Ubuntu and its other counter parts too. The tutorials or walk throughs that I found were not as descriptive as they should be. Please humor me and go to this link and just scroll down the page. It is a walk through. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/17174.html
This is how I learned the Nvidia driver install and it is easy. Anyway, some of us should make these walk throughs when we learn something new. They should be done as well as the one at the link above. If we do not help each other as Linux users then we are defeating the purpose of using it.
