OK, but I think this is what FC6 is looking at
from /etc/modprobe.conf
alias wifi0 ath_pci

Ah, ok this bit was missing in your original post. So, when the module
ath_pci is loaded, is wifi0 created or not?

Davide



Yes
I continued to do some digging and found out that the madwifi driver always
makes ath0 and wifi0 when loaded (modprobe ath_pci)

I found out that the wifi0 is useless, why it is made I don't know.
I`ll fixup ifcfgwifi0 to use ath0 and let it fly and see what happens :)

Thanks
