Right, in your case please ensure that your devices are beaconing
(that's the most common problem) before proceeding.  plinks are
established automatically and as far as I know that's the only thing
we need to support at this time.  If your device isn't beaconing, then
that's a bug and it should be fixed.  That said, ath5k beaconed
correctly last time I tried it.
