Is there a wifi driver for AR5523 chipset, on linux kernel 3.2+?

Question

I found this: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar5523

But when I svn co and then try to compile it I get errors [errors here: http://pastebin.com/8BSvk9Ev ]. I don't think it was coded for linux kernel 3.2.x and I have 3.2.0-30-generic.

I tried to install ndiswrapper but when I run it I get:

# ndiswrapper
Error: unable to find a version of ndiswrapper!

so I've hit a wall, does anyone know how to get the driver for this Atheros wifi chipset? Thanks

@SirCharlo, yes I saw that post. The problem is I get compiling errors on the command m-a a-i ar5523-source [See the pastebin] — Matt, Sep 13 '12 at 23:03

Yes, unfortunately I already tried that. m-a throws an error, and the log shows the compile failed. – Matt Sep 14 '12 at 15:25
@Matt Please add your attempt and log outputs/failures in your question. Then I can take a look at what goes wrong. – gertvdijk Sep 16 '12 at 11:55
@gertvdijk, I have posted a pastebin error log, have you read it? it's in the main question but here it is again: http://pastebin.com/8BSvk9Ev – Matt Sep 21 '12 at 23:40
