Luckily, you just showed the vendor:device ID pairing of your card by
the above command (168c:0023).  You can confirm this by this
one-liner:

for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1
}'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done

Using the pair, I see:

$ grep -i 168c /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0023
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/modules.alias:alias
pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/modules.alias:alias
pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k

Looks like the ath9k driver in the kernel supports your device.  For
more details, please see #4 of ELRepo FAQ:
