Ok, does this patch help the above?

I assume in all cases you have elided the mac addresses and they
are the same in all of the examples?  (You can keep the first three
octets in the future, they are just vendor information.)

Hmm so it completed association... then 4 seconds later, got some
scan results and tried again.  Odd.

That's for 802.11 power saving which ath5k doesn't do yet, so it
doesn't matter here.

Ok thanks for the very detailed report, I'll take a look.  My
hardware suspends/resumes under 2.6.31, but I do have a few
differences in my setup compared to yours.
