It seems that OpenBSD has driver for AR5523 (AR5005UG and AR5005UX) upstream. I
doubt that they would like to share their code with Linux - like dual licensing
GPL/BSD. Fortunately their documentation mentions which hardware includes those
chipsets, look here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uath&sektion=4&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386
Note that Atheros AR5007UG (alternatively known as AR2524/AR5524) is supported
by Linux zd1211rw driver.

At the risk of starting another flame war with insane people, I'll
point-out that dual licensing is not necessary. The BSD licensed
code is completely available to us.

I like to see the spec, even though I don't have a device (yet).
