First of all you would need a WLan card, that is based on the Atheros chipset. Without that it would be useless looking at this document in the first place. If you not are sure, what chipset your WLan card is based on, have a look at Linux-WLan. They have a extensive list of WLan adapters, their capabilities and what chipset they are based on.

You need to install the kernel source code and configure it with make-kpkg. Any kernel version available from Debian should do.
If you have installed a binary kernel, you can allways fetch the correct source for that, and configure it as appropriate

apt-get install kernel-source-2.x.y
cd /usr/src
tar -xjvf kernel-source-2.x.y.tar.bz2
cd kernel-source-2.x.y
cp /boot/config-2.x.y-flavour .config
||make-kpkg --append-to-version "-flavour" --revision 2.x.y-z --config old configure||


If you have a kernelversion, that looks like 2.6.4-1-686, the "-flavour" would be "-1-686".

If you already have a configured kernel source tree, you can use it, but make sure that it's exactly the same configuration you are using.

Make also sure that you have installed the packages kernel-package, debhelper, fakeroot and cvs. They are essential for getting this package to work.
