Maybe could be usefull to you, I had an SMC usb card with the Atheros ar5523 chipset working in my Debian. The madwifi driver don't support it yet, I needed ndiswrapper tools, but It works!!!

Thank you for the reply, I 'll try the ndiswrapper

HI I am using, Kubuntu, (debian) I have the 5523 chip on a usb stick, and I would like to get it to work, can ou please tell me what driver you used to get it to be recognized? thanks in advance
