The madwifi package from RPMForge contains all the needed bits for the
Atheros chipsets. Into the bargain it uses the DKMS stuff to rebuild
the modules when you install a new kernel, too, so no scrambling to
install a new package to get your WiFi back.
I'm using a similar setup, but trying NetworkManager to handle the heavy
lifting, with excellent results. The laptop I'm using pretty much
worked with no issues with a 3Com 3CRPAG175 and a Zyxel card, both
Atheros-based. I've used it with no problems on AEP and WPA/WPA2
wireless LANs successfully. It was a pleasant surprise!
