It's been a year or so since I tried to get ath5k to work in a Ubuntu system. I didn't use NetManager but tried to bring the network up by hand. First ifconfig wlan0 up, then iwlist wlan0 scan, then iwconfig wlan0 essid "name of the network" and that last command is what failed - I would do iwconfig wlan0 and it would show that it was not associated with the network. This was on a non-secured access point. The process worked fine with Fedora, so I gave up on Ubuntu for that and other reasons. Also tried iwconfig wlan0 ap mumble and that didn't work either.
