Note that with atheros, only some combinations of madwifi and
wpa-supplicant work.  If you stick to the std distro versions you should
be ok, but if you are building from source or using dev versions, you
will be in a world of pain.

Been there, done that, ...

ipw2200 based works well, though in my current laptop it is built-in.
