Any reason you went with the older version of fedora? http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/madwifi-yum-kmod http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/About/MadWifi

The FC10 kernel-2.6.27 has the drivers for the Atheros cards, webcams, etc. and they work right out of the box. If you try to install the madwifi drivers for FC9, you have got to blacklist the orignal FC9 driver if you don't your going to have conflicts between old an new drivers.
