I'm running a laptop and a Wrap box (pcengines.ch) with an Atheros 5213
mini-pci card. My laptop runs 6.0 stable and the wrap box runs beta2

ath0 at pci2:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x1012185f chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device   = 'AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

The only problem I have, is that WEP is not working atm.
