The Atheros internal NIC is shown in the dmesg but shows errors.

Thanks Lars,

I'm afraid I wasn't clear the Atheros card is internal, shipped with  
Acer 5520-5679 laptop.

Thanks again and sorry for the confusion the Linksys is a usb that I  
bought to have wireless until there was a driver for the 5424/2424.

If there are any ideas for either they would be appreciated.  This  
laptop is AMD64 which seems to be somewhat limiting.
