You can get the madwifi drivers from http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319 Get the src.rpm from comment # 27 http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319#c27 You will need Fedora Extras for one of the BuildRequires - fedora-rpmdevtools You will also need sharutils from core It does need to be rebuilt for each kernel update, I rebuild before booting into an updated kernel via rpmbuild -bb kernel-madwifi.spec --target "i686" --define 'kernel 2.6.11-1.1238_FC4' (obviously you will define whatever kernel you are building for) In /etc/modprobe.conf you want the line alias ath0 ath_pci Then you can configure the atheros card using the standard fedora tools. AT&T Plug&Share is one vendor that (at least currently) is using the atheros chip - that's what I have, both for my desktop and my laptop. I have not tried it with WEP or WPA, WPA apparently requires installation of additional software. WEP should work, but I don't know - I don't need it where I'm at. I use madwifi in both FC3 and FC4Test
