What a typo. It is WPA. I have managed to solve the problem accidentally after a struggle. It seems that the F8 ships with the new open source ath5k drivers for Atheros chipset. I was trying to install and configure madwifi for the new kernel as I did till now, and it seems that it conflicted the new ath5k driver.
Bottom line for whoever is having problems connecting with Atheros based wireless chipset after upgrading to Fedora 8: Remove the madwifi package (su -c "yum remove madwifi kmod-madwifi kmod-madwifi-`uname -r` madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`") and NetworkManager might work perfectly! Thanks for your efforts and help. Firas.
