You aren't supposed to blacklist ath5k as i already done that for your with the livna madwifi package. please give the output of dmesg |grep ath. Give a try also on NetworkManager service to be enabled. Does your system has been completely updated ? Fedora 9, will never have the madwifi driver has it use a proprietary daemon. Instead it has ath5k which is a younger driver but completely free software. madwifi.org is working primarily on improving ath5k. So the solution for now, is to use the livna-testing version of kmod-madwifi. (that is likely the only one to support your newer chipset) What's append then ?
