I've been able to use the ath5k driver, though it doesn't seem to work
as reliably the madwifi "ath_pci" driver.
If you're using madwifi, you need to add:
blacklist ath5k
to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot.
I've been using the svn trunk pretty successfully against the new kernels:
svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi
cd madwifi
make install
If you install a new kernel, make sure you do a "make clean" before
another "make install", to rebuild and install against the new kernel.
By default it builds against the current kernel. To build against a
different version:
k=2.6.24.4-64.fc8
env KERNELRELEASE=$k KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/$k/build make install

I tried MadWiFi also this morning. I followed the steps mentioned here

When I did *modprobe ath_pci *I got error that ath_pci is unknown interface.

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).
