I just got a Compaq Presario F700 which has an Atheros chip based wifi
PCI express card. I check on the web and found that I had to install
madwifi-hal.

I can't find that package in livna, nor can I find it in atrpms, so I
installed kmod-madwifi and madwifi from livna (which installed for
dependencies iwl4965-firmware), but even though the module gets loaded
automatically, the card doesn't work.

What's wrong?

FC10 has the kernel-2.6.27 that has drivers for this Wifi card, you won't find any help in the 2.6.26.
the livna driver doesn't work right.
I have the eeePC 702 that uses FC 10 2.6.27 and the Atheros Ar5007EG WIFI works perfect.
