   Quoting lspci manual pages :   
      
          -k     Show  kernel  drivers handling each device and also kernel   
   modules capable of handling it.  Turned on by default when -v is given in   
   the normal mode of output.  (Currently works only on Linux with kernel   
   2.6 or newer.)   
      
   So the modules shown are not necesarily loaded.   
      
   Could you post us with the output of :   
   "ifconfig -a"   
   "lsmod | grep ath" ?   
      
   I think your problem could be solved by just loading the right modules   
   ("modprobe ath5k"). As you are on Ubuntu, I guess they have been built.
