Why would you need to do this? ath5k is already in F8 kernels.

thanks, i did not know it was there. So i removed all madwifi modules
and then reloaded the ath5k driver and get the following when running lsmod:
ath5k 98501 0
mac80211 132045 1 ath5k
however, when i do an iwconfig i get:
lo no wireless extensions.
irda0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
vmnet1 no wireless extensions.
vmnet8 no wireless extensions.
virbr0 no wireless extensions.
So no wireless devices are showing up. Any thoughts on what I can try next?
I have an Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless

If madwifi isn't working then ath5k isn't going to work either.
madwifi supports more hardware than ath5k.
The madwifi module loads and I am able to view available networks using
networkmanager I am just not able to connect to any whether they are
open or use wep/wpa. I am trying to exhaust all possible options before
I commit to buying and intel wireless card.
Thanks,
