This is with the upthread patch applied to compat-wireless pulled from git. ath5k 0000:0a:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ath5k 0000:0a:05.0: registered as 'phy5' phy5: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' ath5k phy5: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43) ath5k phy5: RF5112B multiband radio found (0x36) If I remove the entry from hostapd.conf to set the channel, and force a channel with iwconfig, hostapd will start, but nothing can associate, and netstumbler on an XP machine with an atheros card in it does not detect the SSID as being an access point.
