Hm, you really should try talk to the Linux guys. I'm a bit astonished about Attansic's/Atheros' behaviour as even on my Asus driver CD, there is source code for a driver for that chip, IIRC it was even commented so you don't have only magic numbers. If you're interested in that code, I'll search m
