ath5k shipped with Fedora 8/9 doesn't work with the AR500EG

The only problem is to compile it with the current iw_handler.h file. Take the old one of
Fedora 7 and use it temporarily just to compile the madwifi sources. Additionally you have
to prevent loading eth5k removing it from modules.dep.

I have a eeepc 701 Fedora 9 installed and I had the problem with the
Fedora Driver, I track down the madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz and
compiled with no problems and got my wireless card working with WEP
One thing you have to do is goto /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and blacklist
ath5k fedora driver.
