Okay, I figured it out with a little creative googling. Might as well
post the answer, just in case someone's watching:
add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias ath0 ath_pci
system-config-network's gui now sees the card, creates the appropriate
logical device, and fires it up! Whoopee!
Thanks all.

Hi:
Hoping for a little guidance.
PCMCIA wireless card using atheros chipset worked fine under FC4 updated
using the madwifi kernel module from livna. System-config-network
recognized the card as ath0. The card also could be activated in a
terminal using the command ifconfig ath0 up.
Last weekend did a fresh install of FC5, updated, and installed the
madwifi kernel modules. The wireless card no longer works. Symptoms:
1. System-config-network sees the card, identifies it as an atheros
card, but lists its device name as wifi0. Attempts to activate the
device through system-config-network fail. The card does not begin to
blink.
2. In a terminal, ifconfig wifi0 up does not activate the card. No
blinking, no connection to the nearby wireless router.
3. In a terminal, ifconfig ath0 up gets the card up and blinking, and
iwlist ath0 scan shows it has connected to the wireless router, but the
system somehow isn't seeing the connection as a network interface,
because I can't pull up any websites through it. (This isn't a problem
with the wireless router: I can run a cable to it through the eth0
interface and everything works fine.)
4. Here's the message log when plugging in the wireless card:

traffic
and when unplugging the wireless card:
Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO
traffic
Looks to me like I need to link ath0 and wifi0 somewhere. Anybody have
some advice on this one?
Thanks,
