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 :-) 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. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
