that would make more sense. there are changes in noise floor calibration and 
in antenna diversity setup between these two (2010-05-30 and 2010-06-18). 
either one may be the reason...

maybe you need to:
  mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
?

also you need to compile ath5k with debugging enabled.

can you tell us which chipset you are using (output of dmesg |grep 
"ath5.*chip")?

also it would be interesting to know how you generate your graphs?
