post a chunk of syslog recorded while these events occur (link ok, data
flow, link lost, link ok, ... etc). Perhaps even better if you manage to
enable ath5k debug.
As a basic visible monitor, in a terminal keep a ping(1) to some stable
node beyond the AP (or the AP itself) running; check 'time' param
fluctuations. If it's the hw going to sleep if no data flows, then the
ping could keep it up.

try that, if you can. That'd tell (likely) whether it's ath5k's or some
(net) daemon's issue.
Note, I don't use Gnome's NM, so can't provide hints there - I'm sure
other will chime in.
