squeeze on desktop with Atheros wifi - not accessing wifi

[Sian Mountbatten <poenikatu@operamail.com>]

I have installed Debian squeeze on /dev/sda1, but the kernel does not
pick up the Atheros wlan0 wifi card.

Ubuntu 11.10 with a 3.0.0-12-generic kernel picks up the wifi, identifies
the default wifi network, asks for a password and then it opens the
wifi network.

It would seem that the squeeze kernel is broken with respect to wifi.

Anybody any ideas for getting wifi working on squeeze?
