Are you saying that this patch has not actually been tested at all on
ath5k and it was just based on the changes you did for ath9k? If that is
the case, I would suggest running the tests before actually applying
this. We should really not depend on undocumented hardware behavior to
remain the same between different revisions. That's why I did not like
the changes in ath9k and would not exactly like extending that to even
more different chips taken into account that none of this is needed for
normal use of the card.
No. It has been tested the same way I tested ath9k, ie using 2 cards in
monitor mode and reading/writing 802.11 frame and checking that they are
the same on the other side. I just need to swap my ath9k based card
(AR9280) with an ath5k based card (AR5212) in my laptop and redo the
test. I will do so in a couple of days.

Benoit
