Whoooooooo!! I used 0.9.0 driver from the madwifi site. I could not even get the drivers from atrpms to bring the interface up. I must have missed something. Anyway, I figured since the drivers on the madwifi site were newer I would go that way. I used a specfile that I got off of the old madwifi site to build a set of rpms. It is not real pretty but it worked. The box has been up for pver 8 hours with no disconnects from the network. In fact I am writing this message over the wireless network. :-) For those interested here is the output of lspci -vv: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.
