Atheros is working under debian, but, I have a expirience whit an 
atheros wifi adapter and is not working whit the defaults network 
manager of gnome I have changed that and resolv the problem.

I have use a network manager "Wicd", you can found here

http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

and for my experience, that is work fine whit Atheros wifi adapter.

I hope whit this way you can fix the problem.
