Hello all,
I've recently started using SL 5.4 (installed from mini-livecd) on my
Aspire One, with kernels 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 (original) and
2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 (updated). Ath5k is functional on the live cd,
halfway working on the old kernel, somewhat better on the updated
kernel; but it comes nowhere near what the latest ath5k (2.6.31 & 32)
can do or what madwifi-hal can do. I've tried installing madwifi, but
it did not provide the interfaces (ifconfig did not recognize ath0 and
eth1). After looking around, I've found that only madwifi-hal works
with my chipset (AR5007), but I can't seem to find a recent
(2.6.18-164.11.1) rpm. If I can install an rpm with dkms or kmod, that
would be ideal; I'd prefer to avoid compiling it myself. I might have
missed something; if so, please point it out.

We have not been providing madwifi for SL 5.4 because of the conflict it
causes with the modules already in the kernel.
But we are providing it for the older releases, so you can always find
the kernel-module-madwifi and kernel-module-madwifi-hal rpm's in the
older releases security updates area.

If you have the regular 32 bit kernel installed the rpm's would be here.
