Thanks for the response, it really help me out! In case that I install centos 5.1 in my laptop, not in the virtual machine, you think that with this wifi card I could use it easily or I would need to use ndiswrapper or madwifi I am asking this because im new to linux world and I am going to make a big step leaving behind my windows box.
Thanks to all!

AR5006EG in a virtual machine.
You should be able to run a NAT'd virtual network adapter pointed at your atheros wifi card. The VM won't see it as a wifi card but rather a normal network card. Last I checked you couldn't run a bridged virtual network card against a wireless card due to some missing functionality in many wireless card drivers.
You'll need to make sure that the wifi card on the host is configured, connected and has an IP address in order for the guest VM to work with it.
