By the way, I imagine this is a side effect of calling ath5k_beacon_config
inside ath5k_reset().  If so, we probably want to call it at the
appropriate time when the interface is brought up.

I have been working on a patch to rework the beaconing, namely using
bss_conf->enable_beacon and calling beacon_config whenever the beacon
interval or beacon changes, that might fix it but I'm not too familiar
with mesh details to say.
