I have gotten all the files I needed to compile the software. I can now 
use the Marvell ethernet, however when I try to connect with the Atheros 
wifi it tries to connect but then comes back with the error message 
network disconnected. Any one have an idea.

I tried upgrading via yum to get the latest packages but lose my video, 
and get the irq 9 failed who cares.
