No, I always blacklist one or the other.  The issue only seems present
in Fedora and Mepis8.  Also, I repeat, it's really not consistent at
all.  

I've now had some trouble with the ath_pci MadWifi module too, I guess
it just took a little time. I'd be prone to blame the hardware, but it
works quite well with CentOS (using MadWifi) and Ubuntu (using ath5k).


I want to thank everyone for their input.  Judging from the responses
and now, from my own experience, I've come to the conclusion that
whatever the issue may be, it is probably not the ath5k module.


Everyone's input was very helpful, and again I thank you.
