I don't know about ath5k, but in usb8388 firmware (libertas driver)
there is a blinding table, into which MAC addresses were inserted, so
that the firmware would simulate test conditions.

Without a blinding table, sometimes nodes with minimal transmit power,
distance, and shielding, could still be reached.  RF sometimes works
better than you want.
