No. I am using ath5k on a laptop (currently with F8 on it) for
some time. So this worked at least with 2.6.26.x kernels although
I do not remember now when I switched from madwifi. 2.6.24.x may
indeed be too old. The module ath5k.ko was there but not in the
best shape.
In any case this works for me, currently with 2.6.26.6-49.fc8
for a kernel, without any issues and in WPA2 mode. Curiously enough
NM in "Connection Information" claims "Driver: ath5k_pci", while
there is nothing like that around, but whatever ...
Of course ath5k services a lot of different hardware and I may be
just lucky with that particular card ("AR5212/AR5213", 168c:0013).
