I have an IBM Thinkpad R40 with an Atheros based wifi chipset, running on CentOS 4.3 (it's been running on it since 4.0) without any problems. I have to load the driver set from a seperate RPM, though.

Without loading the Madwifi drivers, however, I was never able to get CentOS to see my wireless. The only annoyance I have is every kernel update, I have to update the RPM. But if that's all it takes to have it working, I'm not going to complain.
I have tried 3 or 4 different versions od madwifi. The card works flawlessly for some time, then just dies.
The obvious conclusion is that some atheros chipsets are better supported than others. Which is good news for me, cause every one I've tried so far gave me a headache.
Can you give us the data on your chipset, for reference ?
