Hi degrimreaper,

if you only can find Windowsdrivers for the card, you'll probably have to use ndiswrapper http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page
I've searched the Kernelsources but didn't find a module for your card in recent versions.
The Atheros-website doesn't list any drivers for Linux.

MadWifi?

Ath9K should definitely support it (supposed to support ALL Atheros wireless-N cards) if MadWifi driver doesn't.
