FC7 Atheros wireless card

[antonio montagnani]

I am running a D-Link G-650 that was o.k on FC6.
I made afresh installation, I installed madwifi from freshrpms, then I rebooted.
Now if I open the Network administration page I do not see the
wifi-card (no ath0, no wifi0), but
the output of lspi is:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

the output of lsmod is:
Module                  Size  Used by
wlan_tkip              15872  0
wlan_ccmp              11776  0
wlan_scan_sta          16512  1
ath_pci                92832  0
ath_rate_sample        15744  1
wlan                  186052  6
wlan_tkip,wlan_ccmp,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci
ath_hal               195408  3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci

so all necessary modules are loaded...

If I issue an ipconfig I get:

ifconfig

How can I have an wifi0 or ath0 that I do not see in the Network
configuration window????
