 I got the results back from my tester. He was able to get scan results,
 but it took multiple tries and the direct probe failures appear in the
 log. He didn't enable ATH5K_DEBUG_RESET this time; let me know if you
 need that and I'll request he retest with the extra debug logs enabled.

 I got some more feedback. Most of the time iw does not get scan results,
 but even when it does connecting to the AP isn't always successful. The
 tester did note that he doesn't seem to have any trouble if his machine
 is within a few feet of his AP. Let me know if you'd like something else
 tested.

 I noticed that bugzilla #31922 (ath5k: Decreased throughput in IBSS or
 802.11n mode) is also fixed by reverting 8aec7af9. It seems like the
 synth-only channel changes are resulting in poor connection quality.
 Maybe that patch needs to be reverted?

 Thanks,
 Seth

Disabling fast channel change also fixed a reproducible crash on Broadcom based MIPS boards with some cards (AR2413, I think).
