Cool, thanks for the patch.  Just a couple of comments:

Should use bool for that.

Since this is the only place ath5k_chan_set is called, how about changing
ath5k_chan_set to unconditionally do a reset, and put the test outside?

i.e.:

        if (changed & IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL)
                ath5k_chan_set(sc, conf->channel);

Thanks!
