I'm sorry to take my last comment back: It worked correctly until last night when I was watching an online video and the connection stopped intermittently, making the whole experience unusable... Now I found the reason:

Not sure what make the bug reappear, I've just started this notebook and got temporarly connection problems.

I'm using a Macbook1,1 and in MacOS X Tiger wireless work flawlessly; it has an option that says "Activate Noise Reduction" but have not found the same in modinfo ath5k... Maybe as a workaround we could disable this noise floor feature?
