Basically, you need to download the snapshot, extract it, do a "make"
and then "make install".  After that, /sbin/modprobe ath_pci and
reboot.  Kuduzu will detect your card and set it up, then you can use
system-config-network or NetworkManager in GNOME to set it all up.

I'm using it now, and it's working just fine.  I'm still trying to
figure out how to use wpa_supplicant with NetworkManager, but my
network hasn't upgraded to that, so I should be OK.  Err--For a
while.....
