I can't find a master bug for this but I am almost certain it's already
been reported.
You need to prevent the default driver from being loaded and load
another one instead.
This solution only applies if you have Atheros AR242x-based cards.
Execute the following command:
$ lspci -vvnn | grep 'ath_pci, ath5k'
This should give you output like:
Kernel modules: ath_pci, ath5k
If your chipset is AR242x and the driver is as described above, this
solution applies to you.
If so, proceed with the following command to blacklist the existing driver:
$ echo -e "blacklist ath_pci\nblacklist ath_hal" | sudo tee -a
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Now reboot the system. If it's still not working the correct module/driver may
not be getting loaded. Force it to load at boot time like so:
$ echo "modprobe ath5k" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
Reboot once more.
