Yes, 168c:001c is served by ath5k.

The Abit site had only one driver for WLP-01. There are references that
some WLP-01 devices use Atheros chipset. Thus we conclude that all
WLP-01 use Atheros chipset, or there would be more that one driver.
The Atheros PCI ID is 168c. Search on Google for "WLP-01 168c" without
quotes finds 001c everywhere. So it should work with ath5k.
I cannot guarantee anything, but I think chances are very high.

You can build compat-wireless, which includes the latest ath5k driver
backported from the wireless-testing kernel. Alternatively, you can
build madwifi (be sure to use the trunk snapshot).
