I have a Dlink DWA-556 which works great under Windows 7 64 , but under
rhel 5.4,
no go. There wasn't any 64 bit support for NDIS or any support in
madwifi.
I just upgraded to rhel 5.5. In 5.5, at least I see a wlan0 /dev. If I
try to configure it with the gui tool or the iw cmd line tools, it does
everything except get an IP address and it times out.
Linux kernel version 2.6.18-194.el5
Here are some details:
dmesg:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A better place would be an irc channel, or your distro's mailing list. Besides all that, you don't even provide enough information. What you are trying to do? I'll assume you are just trying to set your network card in managed mode, and then connect using an access point. Are you are trying to use WEP, WPA, WPA2? Just read the man-pages of iwconfig and wpa_supplicant, or look for these terms in a search engine. I'm sure you will find the answer in 5 minutes if you just look for it.

We try to keep the RHEL5 stuff documented here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/RHEL5 You might be interested in reporting your issues here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543719 I believe the issues are backported related.
