Sure! I did the following: Installed all needed packages, unpacked the source
package and made a symlink /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-source-3.2
Patched: patch -p1 < /mypath/blah/0001ath5kxxxxxxxxxx.patch
So I did with all patches.
Then copied /boot/config-3.2.0-4-amd64 to /usr/src/linux/.config (so I got also
the version, worked before in the past this way).
After that make menuconfig to check.
Building then: make modules, because I just wanted to build only the ath5k
module.
At last I copied the newly build module ath5k.ko and replaced it with the new
built one.
depmod -a finished all.

Well, if there are other people with the same problem, leave it open. Very ok
for me! I just did not want to waste your time for a single person (=me), who
cannot give much help back.

No, I am not sick and I will try it in the next time. But my time is limited,
as I cannot run compilatiuon at work and in the evening the time is often too
short, to run a compilation.
