I checked out revision 4133.
These are the relevant lines from my /etc/modprobe.conf file:
options ath_pci ratectl=minstrel
alias ath0 ath_pci
I have no /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 file.
After a reboot if I type in:
ifconfig ath0 up
and then type in ifconfig I get this:
[root@wilber ~]# ifconfig
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:EA:3A:AF:7F:CB
inet6 addr: fe80::76ea:3aff:feaf:7fcb/64 Scope:Link
