All Atheros Supported Adapters (Including yours) are listed at http://www.tamos.com/products/commwifi/adapterlist.php with

Adapter 802.11 Bands = 2.4 GHz only

Its clearly written on official site http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers#which_is_the_best_card_to_buy that

New mac80211 Atheros drivers have native injection and monitoring support

Hence your device would support packet injection.
