Atheros drivers--where to find?

Hi. I have a ThinkPad R40 with an Atheros dual band mini-PCI card in
it. It works fine under Windows, but it's my understanding that there
is not yet a version of the driver for Linux. I have located the .sys
driver file, but the corresponding .inf file is nowhere to be found.
It is my understand that I need the latter to use ndswrapper so I can
use it under Linux.

Does anyone know where I can find a[n updated] driver with the
associated .inf file so I can ndswrap it?

MTIA, Matt

Are you certain that it doesn't work with the madwifi driver(s)?

Interestingly, I reinstalled SuSE with the Atheros card installed, and
it seemed to install it alright. However, whenever I try to connect to
the wireless access point on bootup, the AP would crash--which greatly
annoys my colleagues. Smile

So okay, what would make a client computer make an AP crash?
