I got the same card in my x40 and I was amazed that it did work so well
actually ( thanks to all the guys having made an effort for all the new
wirless support in 3.7).

I think it is a problem with the "media" not getting recognized
correctly.
>media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
Note: 802.11a/g do NOT work ! You will only be able to use 802.11b
(speed 11Mbit at the most) .
I use ( in /etc/hostname.ath0 ):
inet 192.168.123.21 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mode 11b nwid
foobar nwkey 0xdeadbeef99 -powersave chan 6 down
might want to remove this ---^
The important thing for mine to work was the
"media autoselect mode 11b"
Hope yours will work as beautiful as mine now does.
