I was just able to reproduce that bug on latest wireless-testing that I
belive contains the patches you sent for me to test.
I reproduced it against ath5k running in AP mode at home.

I finally made the ath5k send beacons (although not much works besides
this).

Note that I noticed that this bug happens once at boot, if I set NM to
use system settings, when I try to connect again it doesn't happen. Its
a race condition after all.
