[leaf-wisp] recognising atheros PC Card?

Is there some trick to get wisp-dist to recognise an Atheros based (802.11a)
card?

I've installed a card that worked fine with Pebble (debian with madwifi
drivers) but it isn't recognised with a default install of leaf-wisp.
Cartctl seems to recognise that there is a card:

# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "Proxim, Corp.", "802.11a Wireless CardBus Adapter.", "CIS
REV 1.2", "Copyright 2002"
  manfid: 0x0126, 0x0007
  function: 6 (network)
  PCI id: 0x168c, 0x0007

I'm not sure what to do next?  With pebble I had to modprobe ath_pci, but
that gives an error.

# modprobe ath_pci
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20: No such file or directory
insmod: ath_pci.o: no module by that name found

What should I try next?  Btw, this is WISP-Dist, release 2003-08-08(2624).
(Is there a later one?).

Apologies in advance for whatever stupid error I'm making!

thx, michael
