I've just read about wireless (post by Terry) and thought that I might set up WiFi on my ThinkPad T40p running Fedora Core 3.
I checked (using lspci) that I have a Atheros chip and downloaded madwifi from CVS.
Running make worked (although with lots of "undefined" warnings).
But when I used insmod to load the modules I could only load wlan and ath_hal, but not ath_pci:
[root@localhost madwifi]# insmod ./ath/ath_pci.ko insmod: error inserting './ath/ath_pci.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
The 'Hardware Browser' tool still does not see my wireless PCI card after running insmod. And iwconfig doesn't seem to find any wireless extensions.
Thanks in advance for any help on that.

Here's the output of lspci, make, insmod, lsmod, iwconfig:
