Problem with using wifi card Atheros AR5BXB61

Hi, i`m quite new at Archlinux and I can`t solve problem with my wificard Atheros AR5BXB61. This card can go under linux really well - I used to use it requlary. Afterwards I switch to Archlinux and I can`t use it!

I install drivers:

sudo pacman -S wireless_tools madwifi

Afterwards I modprobe drivers:

sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo mopdorbe wlan_scan_ap

I wake up device:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

When I want to test it (by showing wifi networks around me), it gaves:

 iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0    No scan results.

In the evening I install Fedora core and there it works:

iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:1D:7E:BC:C5:AA
                    ESSID:"godoN37"
                    Mode:Master
                    Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
                    Channel:11
                    Quality=4/100  Signal level=-92 dBm  Noise level=-95 dBm
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
                              24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s
                              12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
                    Extra:tsf=0000003e710f018a

I looked for some information on google but all "solutions" had some problems but I don`t dmesg neither lspci doesn`t ges me any warning. The svn drivers doesn`t work differentely.

How can I install drivers for my wifi card properly? I want to use my archlinux rather this fedora core, but the wifi is really important for me.

Thanks for any help!
