Comment (by mrenzmann):
The information in question can be found on [wiki:ProjectInfo] right in
the first paragraph:
{{{
#!blockquote
One driver for miniPCI and cardbus devices. '''USB devices are not yet
supported.'''
}}}
Support for Atheros-based USB devices require a new driver. We can't take
care of that right now, because:
1. We don't have enough manpower.
2. We don't have access to the necessary documentation.
The only chance you have to get that device running under Linux may be
ndiswrapper (personally, I discourage that solution, because it is the
wrong sign to the vendors of network equipment - there was a very good
explanation on the ndiswrapper-website, but I can't find it right now). A
better way is to buy hardware that has native driver support.
