  Sorry to get in so late on this thread.

  Do a google search for madwifi.  All the info about cards that work 
with the Atheros drivers is there.  Look for the Compatibility page.

  I have 5 Atheros PCMCIA cards working with my favorite being the 
NetGear WG511U.  Got 3 of them 'cheap' on Ebay 3 years ago.

  They have a lot of very helpful information on setting up all kinds of
networks as well.
