The Atheros AR2425/AR5007EG PCI-E wireless LAN chipset is supported by the ath5k driver [1] as of Linux 2.6.27. As Debian Lenny/5.0 is supplied with Linux 2.6.26, you are required to install a later kernel version for support of your device. Backported kernel image packages are available from backports.org [2].
