To install AirPort Utility 5.6 on OS X Lion, follow these steps:
1. Download AirPort Utility from the Support website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 Don't open the installer after downloading that.
2. Open Terminal and copy:
cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
3. Open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type /Applications/Utilities and open "AirPort Utility 5.6", so you will be able to use your AirPort on Lion

Maybe you were thinking about installing 5.6 directly on Mountain Lion 10.8.x?
