Are you sure 5413 didn't work ? (it has poor signal quality etc,
perhaps you can try getting closer to the AP -just for testing-).
Because it worked for me, i haven't tested 5414. We know we don't
initialize single-chip radios the right way but we are working on
it...
That's the card i've tested...

Can you try ath_info tool ?
(http://madwifi.org/browser/trunk/tools/ath_info.c) it'll give us more
infos about your hardware ;-)

ath5k branch on madwifi.org is more up-to-date we'll soon commit changes back

AR5004X series worked ok in all of my tests, i guess that if you try
with the binary HAL (madwifi driver) you'll get the same results.
