Is it ath5k or ath9k? Name suggest it's perhaps ath5k...

ath5k is included, but it doesn't support AP mode.

It's pretty easy to build it yourself though.

Download, build and install (on your router; you have to use Debian Lenny):

http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2


Download, build and install (on your router) - ath5k won't work with 
hostapd 0.7.0-snapshot (I'm not sure which one I included):
