Any changes in the dmesg output when you use ath5k?  I looked very briefly and
didn't see the usual symptom of a locked up card (reads of 0xffffffff), but it
also looks like there is only .08 seconds covered by the trace.  Could you try
another trace for a bit longer?

Probably not necessary -- the madwifi trace looks fine.

Thanks!
