loading the ath_pci module doesn't create /dev drivers for Dlink DWA-556 PCIe a/b/g/n card

Description

I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86 64 bit kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 I have a HP 64 bit 2 dual core CPU

I've downlaoded the latest MadWifi and compiled and installed. I can load the ath_pci module, however no /dev/ath0 or other devices are loaded.

A dmesg shows: ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: svn r4119 (branch madwifi-0.9.4) ath_pci: svn r4119 (branch madwifi-0.9.4)

I've done some research on this on the wiki page and can't figure out what to do next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
