   Ive gotten a good install on my new computer (Compaq f750us) Everything   
   works except the wireless card. I have configured the kernel and even have   
   madwifi packages installed but I cant get anything to come up

   Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)   
           Kernel modules: ath5k, ath_pci   
      
   So it sees the card and the modules are loaded in lsmod. Anyone have any   
   clue to get this enabled and working? Ive done searches on Gentoo-wiki and   
   google and cant seem to find anything that will work for me.
