Does the Atheros device show up in the output of ifconfig?
ifconfig -a

If it does, check the output of iwconfig.

If neither of those yield any success, dig into the output of lspci for
info on the Ath device.
lspci -v
lspci -v | grep -A10 -B2 thernet

with verbosity turne up another notch if you want more info
lspci -vv | grep -A10 -B2 thernet
