kernel26mm 2.6.23.rc3.mm1-1, now in the unstable repo, includes the 
initial code from the ath5k.org project (http://ath5k.org), which aims 
to provide
"a completely FOSS Linux driver for Wireless LAN Atheros AR5000 chipsets 
for inclusion in the stock Linux kernel as part of the LinuxWireless 
effort."
This is a fork of the well-known Madwifi project.

Anyone who feels like testing this should note the generally unstable 
nature of the -mm kernel, and also the entirely unreleased, pre-alpha 
status of the ath5k code itself. Even the website still says 'Coming 
soon!' under Get the Code. :)

I will have a go myself as soon as I get a chance to re-install my 
Atheros card, which has been in mothballs for a while.

Regards
Tom.
