Did you try to compile the driver from source according to the 
instructions I gave upon your request? I remember I have seen on one page 
somewhere (but can't find it easily again) that there are problems for 
one Atheros card with the Ubuntu driver. Using the original Madwifi 
driver cured that problem. However I don't remember if it was your card 
or another.

And to enhance the possibility that the card is switched on, switch it on 
in Windows and then reboot to Ubuntu. I can't say it will work for sure, 
but if your WLAN switch doesn't work with Linux, the card might be still 
switched on from Windows after that.

Finally: Please don't hijack threads and use a descriptive subject. You 
might get more replies that way.
