I didn't (or don't remember doing) anything special. If you want, I can send you details about my setup. E.g. here's the output of lsmod | grep ath ath5k 129920 0 mac80211 149696 1 ath5k ath 7068 1 ath5k cfg80211 73044 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath Andras -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
