Agreed, I just tested with the latest wireless-testing and the issue
is still present. I reviewed the commit but its a big too large to pin
point the exact issue, my AR5414 goes up but then quickly becomes
unusable. Nick how about we revert this and you can then split this up
into a good number of patches to make the review easier and also to be
able to pin point the exact issue better?

The SHA1 remains the same but just in case the title of the patch is:

   ath5k: Update interrupt masking code

With it reverted I'm cruising and can ditch MadWifi completely, which
is the idea.
