On linux you can use your atheros card with the madwifi driver.
And it seems your card is supported
Compatibility/Atheros - madwifi.org - Trac
so download and install madwifi
for configuring the interface you will need the wireless_tools package so install it too
If you need more help ask without hesitation

You will need to enable your "contrib" and "non-free" repositories before you can install madwifi.
Also, you may or may not need to use module-assistant to install it. Just search on google for "debian madwifi" and you should find a LOT of how-to's.
