Then I take back what I said. Some googling for "Atheros Ar5005G Linux" threw up so much linux driver misery that I supposed there wasn't a working solution. But if Ubuntu hardy works, in theory gOS should work too, as they share the same technical base. Perhaps the Ar5005G needs the ndiswrapper and a set of windows drivers, I don't think gOS supports ndiswrapper out of the box.
Anyway, I know very little about this chipset, and the ubuntu supported wireless chips website also had very little info. I think only the Good OS people may know more. Or you might try the ubuntu forum.
