OK never mind (maybe). I just spent several hours trying all sorts of things to make the Acer 5100 laptop connect wirelessly. I turned on and off all the settings, rebooted, logged in and out, removed and restored the ath5k nohwcrypt=1 setting, waved a dead chicken, etc. and nothing worked...
UNTIL I opened a little netbook nearby (running Ubuntu 10.10, if that matters) and woke it from sleep and connected it to the AP. As soon as the netbook was up and running the Acer 5100 connected too, with no further intervention on my part. I don't know why or how. I don't know that I can point fingers at the wireless radio signal from the netbook because my cell phone has been connected to the same AP all day, and it has been in my shirt pocket the whole time, too.
