Have you looked in the "Add and Remove Programs" in the "Control Panel"?

If I may ask why do you wish to remove it? What you are wanting to remove are drivers (For the most part) which only are used when the card is active. If you have removed the hardware the software should not be and issue. If you did not install the drivers they are probably native to XP and should not be removed any ways.
We you having a problem?

Atheros is generally for your wireless card. The easiest solution (if you want it gone) is to disable your wireless adapter in Device Manager.

I'd ask for assistance from the IT people at the college. It's likely that they have experience with just this sort of problem.

In my computer it's here
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ar5211.sys
The way to uninstall it, if you really must, is from Device Manager:
My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager
Find Network Adapters, expand "+", select Atheros AR5004G Wireless....
Right click, Uninstall.
As far as I know there's no other "software" involved.
The source of the driver (for me, on Toshiba laptop) is the Recovery CD, not Windows native.
I agree with others to just disable it, but if you must, well ... preserve the driver though.
