It looks like cbenable must be working as this would be what Lewis was 
asking for:
  Vendor 168Ch Atheros Communications Inc
  Device 0023h AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter
[168C:0023]

I do not see that this card is expressly supported.  These are the 
chipsets I see supported:
GenMac Wrapper Atheros Wlan [168C:0012]
GenMac Wrapper Atheros Wlan [168C:0013]
GenMac Wrapper Atheros Wlan AR5005g [168C:001A]
GenMac Wrapper Atheros Wlan CARDBUS [168C:001B]
GenMac Wrapper Atheros Wlan [168C:1014]

This is not to say it won't work but that it will most likely require 
unsupported mode to do so, which certainly means there are no guarantees.
