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:

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.

The ath5k is not working for me too and it conflict with the madwifi
(ath_pci) driver. (Fedora 8 Test3 + Rawhide updates)
I got the madwifi to work on my T60, by adding 'blacklist ath5k' to
/etc/modprobe.conf and install the madwifi driver i was using on F7.
