Did you get noise calibration failures in dmesg at this point?  Felix posted
a patch recently that handles them better

/var/log.messages is full of "noise floor calibration" messages -

kernel: ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2437MHz)

That one says that if ath_pci is running the wireless should work.  Well it 
isn't.

lsmod | grep ath gives
ath5l			112520	0
mac80211		173668	1	ath5k
cfg80211		 23816	2	ath5k,mac80211

Perhaps Mary Ellen could tell us what she has for that?  Thanks
