Please provide a longer section of the kernel log.  There should be a
more specific error message somewhere...

Also, are you using the ath5k driver or the madwifi driver under
2.6.26-2-i686?  I can't see any reason why ath5k would work in only one
of these configurations.

Again, please provide the kernel log.
