Steven, If you have an Atheros based chipset you will have to use the MadWifi driver, http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ I believe.
If you perform an lspci you should be able to see your card come up with a string as unrecognised, using google with this string will prove you need this type of driver. I do have the Madwifi driver working under Mandrake 10 on an IBM laptop.
