I used to run a (atheros 5212?) D-Link AG520 (before the antenna broke off) on 
a wireless-only setup.  It worked brilliantly for me.  I had to download and 
install the madwifi drivers and set up a profile in Fedora Core (any 
distribution should support it).  After that, I had no issues whatsoever.  It 
supports the common wireless tools.  There are also packages available for 
the madwifi drivers in FC1, if you want it to be really painless.

I just don't see a lack of compatibilty in the atheros chipset.
