I have not installed the madwifi specific kernel stuff (kdml and

And my Atheros card is working with almost no work on my part (other
than runing wpa_supplicant as a deamon).

Nice!
But how is that supposed to work? Perhaps you don't have an atheros
chipset at all? If you have an atheros chipset then you will need
madwifi/dadwifi and hal/openhal to use it.
Oh, it is definitely the Atheros chipset.  Given to me by my friends at
Atheros at one of the 802.11 meetings over a year ago....

Well, we'll see... type lspci to hear about the card and lsmod to see
what modules you have loaded, post the results.
Here is the results from lspci and lsmod.  There is ONE madwifi rpm installed:

madwifi-0.9.2.1-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

and for wpa:

wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.1.fc6.i386.rpm
