You can use the madwifi driver, resident in the standard 5.2.1 distribution.

kldload ath_hal
kldload if_ath

You will be able to tell if the madwifi driver "sees" your atheros-based 
card by looking at the output of the second module load. If it does, you 
can use ifconfig (man ifconfig) to configure your wireless environment.

Example:

ifconfig ath0 up
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.X.Y/24
ifconfig ath0 wepmode on wepkey MYKEY
ifconfig ath0 ssid MYSSID

MYKEY and MYSSID must jive with your AP configuration.
