When you boot into Darwin, hit a key when it says "press any key to enter startup options".

Then enter: "-f" (without quotations) and start the boot process.

I experienced the same problem after replacing my Intel a/b/g wireless card with the Atheros. After booting with with "-f" I could finally turn on the wireless radio in OS X 10.5.1 (using Kalyway).
