Squeeze's kernel (on squeeze) does not work. I tried that sometime
ago. I haven't tried it on top of wheezy, but I'm pretty sure it won't
work either.

I can tell you that kernel 3.0.x and 3.1.x have no trouble with the
atheros firmware loading process (on top of Squeeze). I haven't tried
3.2.

At the moment I can't try this, because I don't have wheezy installed.
I used to, but it gave me so much trouble with this laptop that I had
go to Squeeze and use an upstream recent kernel.
All my tests ever since have been based on a debian live usb-key with
wheezy (I don't know how to tell live-build to boot the upstream
package, instead of the main). What I can do is get a wheezy image
with the 3.2 kernel from experimental.

I haven't tried downgrading. This could work. I will give this a shot
for my next debian-live image. As it turns out, the new udev 175
breaks live-boot, so it's not working right now (I was hoping
upgrading to 175 would solve the problem...). Hopefully downgrading
will solve both issues!

I will report back as soon as I get a chance
