I guess that will work as works module-assistant. In my college I setted
up hundreds of this cards with module-assistant and madwifi-source, just:
# apt-get install madwifi-source module-assistant
# m-a prepare
# m-a update
# m-a a-i madwifi
Then I just made # iwconfig ath0 essid ESSID; dhclient ath0 and it was
done, I was surfing with wireless.
