Assumes that it does work and show other peoples networks.
Some Atheros cards may only be set for channels 1-11 so higher channels may not be available.
If your network is on a channel above 11 then it is possible your laptop card is setup for just channels 1 to 11, you need to go into its properties/ configure and see if there are any Regional settings for channels available, may be listed channels 1-11,1-12 or 1-14, or may show ETS, try ETS which is europe settings I think, or it may state countries.
Alternative change your wireless lan router to channel 6 and see if that works, and make sure you are broadcasting the SSID
Download Netstumbler and see what that comes up with. Since typing the above I have found some more info.
I Have just tried the following on my Acer and confirm that it does work, However you must make sure you put it in the correct enum, see text between ++++++ signs.
If you do not know what you are doing then DON'T !!!!!!! you are changing the registry.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a short comment for those of you struggling with the missing domain settings: The entire registry branch "ccode" is not included with the Atheron driver.
I managed to extract it from a Netgear WG511T registry key and after importing it in my Atheron equipped laptop I am able to change the region code in advanced settings of the driver.
+++++++++++Just make sure that you assign correct device number to the registry branch (mine was 0009) of your Atheron driver before importing this- you must edit the registry import script below to suit your settings.+++++++++Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
