Yes, I think you're right. My revision C doesn't work with the ath 
driver, and I get some odd 6mbps connection with the ndis driver. 
Actually.. the ath driver nearly works. It'll keep searching, sometimes 
it will get a connection with my access point for a split second but 
then it'll drop again and keep searching. It managed to stay connected 
for like 30 seconds once or twice, but that's about it :)
