After that, /sbin/modprobe ath_pci and reboot. Kuduzu will detect your card and set it up, then you can use system-config-network or NetworkManager in GNOME to set it all up. I'm using it now, and it's working just fine. I'm still trying to figure out how to use wpa_supplicant with NetworkManager, but my network hasn't upgraded to that, so I should be OK.
