Hi,
I had the same problem: ath5k shipped with Fedora 8/9 doesn't work and the
old ath_pci driver of
madwifi doesn't compile. My solution to compile the old driver was very
simple: I fetched the old
iw_handler.h of Fedora 7 and placed it beside the current one as
iw_handler_old.h. Then I renamed
the included file in the madwifi sources and could compile it. It works.
