There is a CentOS wiki article on the Atheros AR5007EG card. I don't know if this is related, but there is some chance that the info on that page might help. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG It basically tells you to replace the current madwifi with the newer version (from source), and blacklist ath5k.
