The ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5414 chip found (MAC: 0xa5, PHY: 0x61) line is the 
one that counts.

Ok. I did the same (only one ath5k AP, though...).

Can you check if WPA1 (TKIP) works or not?

Uh, then complain to your vendor ;-)

Maybe there is something in the EEPROM which disables encryption, too. There 
is a flag for this: ATH_CRYPT_CAP_CIPHER_AESCCM. Can you check if it is 
enabled in your case?

It is (lspci -vn)

00:0f.0 0200: 168c:001b (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 168c:2062
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 5
        Memory at a0020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: ath5k
        Kernel modules: ath5k

But I don't think it makes a big difference. The SREV (MAC: 0xa5) is used in 
the ath5k code, not the PCI IDs.
