If you're trying to use the built-in WiFi, I can't see how pcmcia-cs
will help you, since your device is PCI.  To create the device, you can
just alias wlan0 ath_pci which should set up a device called wlan0 for
you.  You can add that to modprobe.conf to automate it on boot.
Apologies if this doesn't work on Deb, I'm using Fedora.
