This is a kernel problem, and as stated there is sod all wrong with my hardware! At the time of Hardy.1 install my laptop was 2 weeks old. Trust me on this, this is NOT a hardware fault I have run memtest just in case, passed it fine. Its to do with ath_pci as stated above. Also in Hardy the kernel boot option (LiveCD) generic.all_generic_ide=1 allows it to boot fine, but restricted modules aren't automatically loaded on the LiveCD for atheros wifi is it?
Also, the correct package is linux-restricted-modules, or at the very least just linux, as it is to do with the kernel.
