Precisely as the title says - I have the ath5k non-LBM driver in use, on latest Jaunty, amd64, 2.6.28-11-generic, and I periodically have the problems described on bugzilla.kernel.org's bug #12068.

There has been a patch available for ~4 months, which is approximately 10 lines all told, and simply adds sanity checks to the reset call in the driver which causes the problem. It's worked for me for four months, and I've been adding it by hand.

Please add it to L-B-M and/or the core kernel package - I know many other ath5k users with this problem, and this patch is sufficiently trivial that I'd be sad if it doesn't end up in.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=19574 is the patch.
