I have madwifi drivers working with IBM a/b mini-pci card (atheros
chipset-????). I've been using a CVS snapshot from nov for a while -
and recently updated to CVS snapshot of this week. It works fine for
me (managed mode - primarily '802.11b')

When you compile the driver - make sure you use 'make CC=gcc32'

Other config issues woud be:

- add "alias ath0 ath_pci" in /etc/modules.conf

- creating /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0,keys-ath0
  manually (perhaps copy from some other wireless config) - as 'neat'
  can't handle 'ath0'
