I have
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1a3b:1026
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-

Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 16 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18
Region 0: Memory at fbef0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: ath_pci
Kernel modules: ath_pci, ath5k
and the instructions about manually installing the madwifi drivers in
http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/index.php/archives/madwifi-wireless-for-asus-eee-pc-on-fedora-9-howto/
work for me. The livna route looks much simpler, but I couldn't
install kmod-madwifi from there.
I should add that I still run an old kernel.
I very much hope that this helps!
