looks like there are two problems ;

follow its instructions regarding "pci=biosirq"

the next problem is "ath_pci: cannot reserve PCI memory region"
you need to reserve some memory for this card.  add
'append="reserve=0xd3405fff,0x2000" ' to lilo.conf

Please note, the above location WILL be incorrect.  Read the error
carefully and you will see the correct address to use.


best of luck!
