I've more news on the subject as it may not me a driver or hardware problem.
I found out that if I try to set manually frequency channel on ath5k driver it is successful only upto channel 11 while with the madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007 driver I could go upto channel 13. Since my AP is set to channel 13 (and I really need that because a neighbor's AP is disturbing me) this might be the only issue I'm having. Is there a quick thing I could do to the sources to get ath5k cover upto and including channel 13 ?
