The madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz driver, but I'm sure it's changed to 
a different number by now.
While I was using FC9 , I went to Redhat Rawhide and got a Kernel-2.6.27 
and installed on FC9 and it worked
without any problems.
I'm using kernel-2.6.27-0.398.rc9.fc10.i686, If you should choose to go 
that way, be sure you get the kernel-devel, kernel-headers,  from 
rawhide, just in case you should have to compile anything.
I switch to FC10-test because they have a lot of improvements to KDE.
The 2.6.27 kernels have fixes for most or all Atheros chipsets, it also 
fixed my Webcam
So I have got a  eeePC 702, with all hardware working in FC10.
Send me your Email and I will attach an forward  the 
madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz driver to you. I still have it on my PC.
