It's a known bug in nic_wakeup, i've fixed it but patch is pending due to testing. Problem is that even with that fix RF2425 doesn't tx/rx, we are currently working with users to fix 2413/2414 support (radio revision 0x56) so it'll take a while (tests etc) before we make this work.
Nice to hear that you are working on the "no tx/rx" problem. I am working with several Atheros-based Cardbus NICs for WLAN testing and development at university and unfortunately the card we have chosen to buy a bunch of is affected by this problem. If I can be of any help in fixing the problem, please mail me! I did not digg into the at5k source code up to now, but I did modify madwifi a lot, so might be able to help investigating the problem.

Thank you very much for your work!
