scanpci -v shows the card isn't recognized:

Luckily, you just showed the vendor:device ID pairing of your card by the above command (168c:0023). You can confirm this by this one-liner:
for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done
Using the pair, I see:
$ grep -i 168c /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0023 /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k
Looks like the ath9k driver in the kernel supports your device. For more details, please see #4 of ELRepo FAQ:
I'm not sure this is the correct driver.

Acording to this output, I should see if "168c:0023" exists in http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs, which it doesn't.
This page http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATH9K.html points to ath9k "vendor: 168c ("Atheros Communications Inc."), device: 0023 ("AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter")"
