My apologies all, I had the antenna plugged in to the first connector.
ath5k appears to only use the second. Plugging in to the second one
fixes most problems. I didn't get a chance to see if the ath5k way of
creating and joining an ibss works now, but we can now get full
throughput in adhoc mode. I will try the ibss joining without MadWifi
tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help.
