nohwcrypt=1 did not help (was I correct to put it as "options ath5k
nohwcrypt=1" into /etc/modprobe.d/options in my ubuntu?).

The problem is not that WPA does not work. It works for my WM6 client
(who connects with or without WPA from some 2nd or 3rd attempt but
cannot browse anything anyway even without encryption) but does not
work for WM5 client (who can browse but only when it connects and it
only connects with WPA disabled). Not sure which component to blame
here. Both devices work so nicely with WPA with hardware wireless
router :)

I guess I'll just wait for future versions of driver and kernel and
keep upgrading hoping that it'll start working.
