David, please report details about your hardware to the existing Red Hat bug-report at:
ath5k module freezes when interface is brought down https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499999
We have to get this fixed upstream and once it is, we will have a working kmod-ath5k in the same effort :-)
Done, I just submitted a comment on that bug.
Besides as far as I have tested, the madwifi solution (for newer Atheros hardware) replaces some of the other wireless infrastructure and thus breaks other wireless drivers and is impossible to package properly for RHEL/CentOS.
Was unaware of that, can you give examples of the libraries/modules that get overwritten (for rollback/restore purposes)?
I have not seen any issues yet that I am aware of but once we get a fix for kmod-ath5k and I go back to that driver... I might?
will installing the kmod-ath5k after a removal of madwifi-hal-snapshot.rpm fix this?
