I have a card with exactly the same PCI ID, MAC, PHY and radio.  I can
confirm that it's working with Linux 2.6.25.9 (that's actually
kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9 from Fedora 9).  It can scan and associate to an
AP using WPA2.  dhclient runs successfully on the interface and I can
send data through it.

If you have any specific problem, I suggest that you post enough
information, such as the kernel version, the output of iwconfig, the
scan results and what exactly you are doing.

I believe the place for such documentation is
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k

If you have any reason to believe that some information is missing,
please mention it too.  What exactly do you need to configure?
