Yes, and this is the one I have to blacklist as it does not work and interferes with new madwifi. I have never tried the kmod-ath5k and in fact, yum does not even see it when I do a "yum search ath5k" or "yum search kmod_ath5k". I assume that this is due to the fact that it is "IN" the kernel and not an external module?
