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

+                              int chan_changed);

Should use bool for that.

-       ret = ath5k_chan_set(sc, conf->channel);
+       ret = ath5k_chan_set(sc, conf->channel,
+                            changed & IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL);

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);

Good idea. I'll redo the patch.

BTW, it assumes that IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL is set even if only chan->hw_value has changed,
e.g. by switching from A to TurboA on the same channel. AFAIK TurboX isn't currently supported by ath5k.

Jörg.
