wrt54gl does not use Atheros radio ....it is  from broadcom.
If you have the right firmware for your router and if you enable wireless
in the config file you would not any problem.....

In that howto there is no where recommended to use the 2.6 image.

NOTE: The wireless part is only supported on the 2.4 Kernel version of Kamikaze. The 2.6 Kernel runs fine on the box, but (because the wl.o driver from Broadcom is only available for 2.4 Kernels and the opensource b43 driver is not ready yet) the wireless does not work if you flash a image with a 2.6 Kernel.

The discussion might have continued from here.
