Right, that is what I tried to correct.  _After_ 2.6.30,
ath5k began reporting the regdomain from the EEPROM which
means some channels (13 is a common case) are no longer
accessible whereas they were before with static reg domains
and no EEPROM support.  That was the major change in the
driver.  Most other changes since 2.6.30 were in the
upper-layers.  I don't recall any changes to crypto in that
timeframe.

WRT to the original report, is only WEP causing problems
(i.e. does WPA work?)
