Showing up in 'lspci' just shows that the kernel knows the device exists and can identify it, it doesn't necessarily mean that it installed the drivers.

I have a hunch that you don't really have an AR5006EG card, my money is on it being an AR5007EG, which I don't believe is really supported out of the box until kernel 2.6.27.

Post the output of 'lspci -nn', that will tell for sure which card it is.

No, the driver is not installed - lsmod output would show whether proper module is loaded or not. Output of ifconfig -a would also help. After all, this one: http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org...-hal-0.10.5.6/ should work for your card.
