The driver uses the PCI device ID as well as the silicon revision
(SREV) and radio revision read from the card. We've had this PCI id in
since the beginning as far as I can tell. It would be good to see the
output of the following lines from 'dmesg' when the driver attempts to
load:
ath5k: registered as 'phy0'
[any failure messages might show up here]
ath5k: Atheros ARxxxx chip found (MAC: 0x??, PHY: 0x??)
If you don't see any of the above, then chances are the driver didn't
attempt loading at all.

compat-wireless might fill this role, but I don't know offhand if it
goes back to 2.6.26.
