I think you need to use the 1.9.15 but that is not a production/stable
release.  But that said, I have an Alix card with an Atheros mini pci
and it has been as solid as a rock for a number of months now.

First of all, the atheros driver is available as part of the access 
point addon for 1.4.21 http://www.ban-solms.de/t/IPCop-wlanap.html.

Second point is that you give no clue as to what you will use wireless 
for? Red? Or as an access point?

Ah, I see. Well then, there are now two choices even though one (1.9.x)
is not production ready. Do you find that the 2.6 kernel supports 802.11
considerably better? I had heard it does. Not related but wireless
nonetheless, it sure does with 3G.

It does (at least the more recent ones), but there is still room for 
improvement.
