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