For people with madwifi issues or looking for a better solution to Atheros support, the elrepo repository is tesing new backported ath5k drivers that Red Hat is preparing for RHEL 5.4. We think we have fixed all known issues, but to help us with improved Atheros support in CentOS 5.4 we need to make sure Red Hat ships something that works across all boards.
So if you have an Atheros chipset and want to help test the newer ath5k driver, go to:
http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el5/i386/RPMS/ or http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el5/x86_64/RPMS/
and try the kmod-ath5k and kmod-mac80211 packages for your kernel. (First remove the madwifi driver though, to make sure there is no interference a reboot may help too).

I'll test it on my i386 for sure. Mine is AT&T Plug-n-share
I also have a PCI version I could test on my x86_64 though I'd have to find where I put it (I ran ethernet into my home office years ago) if x86_64 really isn't much untested.
Is this a non tainting driver?

Works - but the lights are different. The "Act" and "Link" like use to alternate when looking for a network, and blink together when connected (madwifi) - not the Act light is off and the Link light Link light is solid.
But the driver seems to work (i386)

Great, you have the same one as I have. Could you send your remarks to the Red Hat bug-report so that the developers can follow-up on this.

Thanks for helping all Atheros users :)
