It seems as if this problem wouldn't be restricted to ath5k, I just
triggered something very similar on b43 and 2.6.29-rc8-git1 (i386, hard
preemption):

Setting a fixed wlan rate (like 11M) seems to avoid this problem.

I will apply this patch and give it some more testing tomorrow evening,
this problem is almost 100% reproducable for me at the end of my router's
range and doesn't happen in closer proximity.
