Fedora has the ath5k builtin kernel (you may need a newer kernel) if your chipset isn't supported by ath5k yet, you can give a try on the madwifi project. Third part fedora repositories are packaging prebuild kmod for madwifi so you won't have to compile it yourself for Fedora 8 Now you shoudn't need to use ndiswrapper with any atheros chipsets (unless newer models using ar5007 on 64bit and some older atheros usb).
