wireless ath_pci to ath5k?

[Antonio Olivares <olivares14031 yahoo com>]

Dear all,

On a Toshiba laptop with an atheros wireless, I used to compile madwifi-0.9.3.X sources and it took care of loading the wireless module ath_pci.  Now, I have read a page about a new ath5k which I also see when I do an lsmod.  However, I have not been able to get it to work with the new rawhide kernels.  I have read a new article here:

http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/ath5k-code-analysis.html

Can someone shed some light as to how the new driver works.  Network Manager has not been running and I turned it and Network DIspatcher off.  Also the network is checked off because startup takes very long when looking for a wireless connection because the working router at school is far away from where it can work.  I had wireless working up to 2.6.21-1.3201.fc7.

Thanks,

Antonio
