Give us a dmesg output of your card `dmesg | grep ath`.  But from what
you've given it says your card is based off the AR5212 chip, which the
ath man page says should be supported.

What I'd do to try it is find an unencrypted wifi network, and then
try connecting to that.  do a `dhclient ath0` around an unencrypted
wifi network with dhcp on it, and if you can connect, I guess your
card is supported. :D

hope this helps

ps, a better subject line would have been 'ath Conceptronic c54ru
version 2 troubles' or something ;)
