Worked great after I emerged net-wireless/madwifi-driver. I didn't even need to rebuild the kernel (though I do need to re-emerge for each kernel, after changing the /usr/src/linux symlink). I had to set the mode=2 (`/usr/sbin/iwpriv ath0 mode 2`) in the init scripts, otherwise it wasn't scanning.
I've only had it for about a week, but no hitches so far. The lights tend to blink unceasingly, which is kinda annoying, but nothing a piece of tape won't fix :)
For the curious, here's the output of `iwpriv ath0`:
