as said before - its working.

use lspci to check your card
you should get something like
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 168c:1014 (rev 01)

if you get this, download the latest madwifi cvs - (only cvs works -=20
the latest release does NOT include the proper definition ).

make - make install the driver

modprobe ath_pci should do the trick to load all three modules
(wlan, ath_hal, ath_pci).
