Hello,
I have been following the wireless-testing branch for a few months, hoping with each revision that my Atheros card would finally work properly with ath5k. �So far, I've been able to scan for and see nearby networks, but I haven't been able to associate to them.

Does limiting
wpa_supplicantto only scan the 2 GHz channels help?e.g. setting "scan_freq=2412 2437 2462" in your wpa_supplicant.conf scans 1 6 and 11.
Thanks for the suggestion. It appears that my installed version of wpa_supplicant does not support the scan_freq parameter. A google search found precisely one example of it being used, in a sample wpa_supplicant.conf in the epitest git repo. For what it's worth, I have also tried using iwconfig to associate to the neighbor's network under ath5k without success. So I don't think it's related to wpa_supplicant's scanning algorithm.
