The driver I think you may find that you want is  
madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz.
Goto website below and read instructions, there are some modules you 
have to blacklist.
The driver download madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz is explained .
I did the compile in Fedora 9 without any problems.

You will need to have the:
kernel-devel
kernel-headers
gcc

installed to compile.
