Yes, I have... it used to show the different connections, and would let me connect (but would never actually connect, just hang for a while), and now I cannot even view and wireless connections.
Also, is it possible to move into Ext4?

Doing now, kinda slow on Acer Aspire One.

Installed, but will not let me see the wireless networks... (click on the icon in tray, and no wireless networks showing).

But... It is a simple driver, shouldnt cause too much of an issue.

he was talking about Ext4
In my Aspire One, before I swapped the wireless out for an Intel card, I just built the driver from scratch and it worked out well for me. Download the latest driver from madwifi, decompress it, then at terminal run:
make
su
make install
modprobe ath_pci
Then edit your modules file and add a line for ath_pci to start it at boot.

Please explain in detail what you mean (I am a linux noob, just decided to install fedora last night).

Don't worry about it. This is pretty much what the akmod stuff does in Fedora.
Are you sure you're within range of any wireless networks?

I have like 20 networks in range in my room. Also, my wifi from my router can reach me from the basement from the top floor, so range is not an issue)

Did you actually install akmod-madwifi from RPM Fusion, or did you install something else?

Bingo. ath5k is the newer (and less stable) driver and I think it's the one that should be blacklisted, unless you have a very new 802.11n draft card which isn't covered by (the older and more stable) ath_pci.
Or, if ath_pci isn't working, then blacklist it and try ath5k.
Originally Posted by h33b Um.... I don't know if I'm reading this right, but it looks like you have too many modules loaded for your WiFi device.

I blacklist listed ath5k in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
I have the list back for wireless, but it won't connect to my network, keeps asking for password (doesn't say it is wrong, just hangs, and won't connect)
