The Madwifi driver and the ath5k driver are two completely different drivers. They can't even be loaded at the same time, as it will result in the wireless not working.

The Madwifi driver is depreciated, and development has all but stopped. All development is now put into the ath5k/ath9k family of drivers.

More information on your system is needed, if you want further help. Read the post linked to below, and provide the info that it tells how to find.

I don't know what the wlanconfig command does, but maybe the iwconfig command is what you want.
