I have Compaq Presario C772TU Laptop. I has Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter. Yesterday I installed Fedora 8 but I was not able to enable WiFi.

1. I tried configuring WiFi using KNetworkManager, but no luck.
2. I installed Windows driver (.inf and .sys) file in fedora using NDISwrapper. When I tried to scan wlan0 I got the error that "Network doesn't support Scanning: Network is Down". I then tried ifconfig wlan0 up but I got following error SIOCSIFFLAGS..........

How can I enable WiFi on Fedora 8. Is this problem solved in Fedora 9.

I really love Fedora and don't want to switch to any other OS.
