[root at RickSivernell /]# modprobe ath0_pci
FATAL: Module ath_pci not found.
[root at RickSivernell /]#


vi /etc/modprobe.conf
alias scsi_hostadapter pata_atiixp
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
##options 8139too
alias eth0 8139too
##options 3c501 irq=21
options rtl8129 irq=21
alias eth1 ath0_pci
options ath0_pci irq=22


I even copied to thee drivers/net directory and wireless directory, modprobe does not find ath_pci, from the madwifi-ng project. Using an atheros 5005g chip on a Acer 5100 Aspire
running FC 7. Got the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse up and running, just not all features yet.

I assume I have left something out, just can not think of what it is yet. any ideas are appreciated.
