Hmm, do you use a driver from your vendor (the inf files etc from CD)
or a generic one from the net ?

It's possible that your vendor uses hardcoded settings on the driver
instead of EEPROM settings so tx power wont work as expected and
that's why you can't connect on the AP. Both ath5k and MadWiFi try to
use EEPROM settings, they don't use any hardcoded settings (not even
default values in case of a corrupted EEPROM -we should fix that in
the future).
