not sure if there's an open-source linux driver for the Atheros card. 
FWIW, I think the Atheros a/b/g (5212) is _great_, but I use it with
StarOS on a WRAP card.  The StarOS Atheros driver is closed source but
is absolutely fantastic.  Unfortunately, the Linux zealots (the GNU
bozos) have been such an annoyance, StarOS will soon be NetBSD vice
Linux.  So much fot the open source movement -- idiots are turning it
into a bowel movement with their diarrheic diatribe.
