Interesting...  can you confirm that madwifi also will not start from a cold
boot?  I only ask because I had a similar issue with my pci-e card that was
fixed a while ago.  Madwifi would work from a cold boot, though, if ath5k
had never been loaded.

Here's someone else with the same PCI ID, same symptom:

Perhaps the best thing to do is add printks to ath5k_hw_nic_wakeup and see
where it hangs?
