Meanwhile this entry is a year old, but the latest attached spec file has only changed in minor things (for my personal use). This includes an update to the latest development release 0.6.6 (it works) and an update of the madwifi headers to the latest subversion trunk.
The madwifi headers are no longer required as the ath5k and ath9k drivers cover that hardware, and are in the upstream kernel already.
I'd like to make the suggestion to ask the developer for support for the ath5k and ath9k driver, since it seems to me that those drivers don't work directly with the wpa_supplicant but only in connection with NetworkManager.
NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant for all connections, so if it works in NM, it works in plain wpa_supplicant too. I've successfully used wpa_supplicant with ath5k hardware just fine...
