Yes, but the madwifi package isn't included on the FC4 build. This
required a kernel (from RPM) upgrade, and then the madwifi RPM for the
corresponding upgraded kernel. Once that was complete iwconfig settings
and ifconfig ath0 up did the trick. Create an alias in
/etc/dhclient.conf - don't need that if you are using static IP
address. Make sure to add /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0
with the appropriate information so the card comes up at boot time. May
need to use /etc/init.d/network stop/start a few times to get things
working.
