Did you actually try ath5k?  Is obtaining a later hostapd really a
bigger hardship than using an unmaintained, out-of-tree driver?

If you have specific problems with ath5k then please cite them.
Even better, open a bugzilla entry for them.  But please don't just
spread random FUD.

Madwifi is a dead project.  It does support a few oddball features
(many of them non-standard) that some people need, mostly due to
legacy use of Madwifi.  If you won't know what those are or why you
need them, then you almost certainly should be using ath5k.
