Yeah I have an AP but it's broadcom based.  I'll try to do the traces this
weekend.

Well, with the change from my original post, the card appears to
function somewhat but the cpu gets busy and the whole machine crawls.
Note, I didn't make any changes for initvals.  

I can associate but not for very long.  dmesg looks like this:

ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5424 chip found (MAC: 0xa3, PHY: 0x61)
NET: Registered protocol family 17
ath0: Initial auth_alg=0
ath0: authenticate with AP 00:1a:70:da:a9:cd

ath5k_hw_get_isr: 0x00000020
printk: 36 messages suppressed.
ath5k_hw_get_isr: 0x00000020

and sometimes:
ath5k phy3: noise floor calibration timeout (2462MHz)

With debug on these were the resets I was seeing, may be normal but I
didn't know:

ath5k trace ath5k_hw_stop_tx_dma:1241
