After reading through every atheros thread I can find here, I still am not able to use my wireless card in linux. I'm hoping someone can help.

I am using latest madwifi but it appears that the ar5413 chipset is unsupported. from what i can tell it is the ONLY chipset in this family that is. I am relatively new to anything wireless in linux so any help/guidance/guesses would be appreciated.

Here is output of several commands.
