Hi,
AFAICT it should be fine. The stack will handle encrypt/hash and
decrypt/verify of management frames if IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT is
set, which ath5k already does. If you wanted, you could verify that
protection is enabled by removing
key->flags |= IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT;
in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/mac80211_ops.c and it should stop
working in hwcrypt mode (assuming your card supports hardware CCMP).

No idea there.

That would bypass the important bits, so it's worth a test without
the modparam.
