I was not going to comment on the Atheros because I haven't pursued it to the bitter end, but I got to the point of running "make modules" on the MadWifi driver and got the message that uudecode was required. (I got to the same point on Ubuntu Warty before giving up.) I figured that if the build procedure required an obsolete email package, who knows what other weirdness would turn up along the way. But I suspect that uudecode is present on these distributions and that a look through makefiles and scripts might find a fix.
I can't recall right now which package provides uuencode, but installing that and using MadWiFi saved me from having to throw away an otherwise useful nic.
