Thanks for reporting the links where are described similar problems. You have
a AR242x chip, from what I have understood the MAC+PHY part is common to my
AR5212. So the problem could be related to the MAC management inside ath5k. I
don't know if it's related by here I can see 5 AP, maybe the medium is too
crowded.
