Thanks for the suggestion.  It appears that my installed version of 
wpa_supplicant does not support the scan_freq parameter.  A google 
search found precisely one example of it being used, in a sample 
wpa_supplicant.conf in the epitest git repo.
For what it's worth, I have also tried using iwconfig to associate to 
the neighbor's network under ath5k without success.  So I don't think 
it's related to wpa_supplicant's scanning algorithm.
