I'm not too familiar with how bugs are resolved, but I came across this 
information from the Ubuntu forums that supposedly worked for others:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682388&page=5> macrules wrote:

sudo rmmod -f ath5k
sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1

If that fixes the problem write a configuration file to apply the fix at
boot.

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf

Add a single line:
Code:

options ath5k nohwcrypt=1

Proofread, save and close gedit. Now, on boot, the parameter should be applied 
automatically.

I don't feel code-savvy enough to play with this in case I do something
I shouldn't, but maybe you, vlad, want to try this? In that same forum
thread, there was mention by bwallum that installing compat-wireless
solves the atheros wireless issue. Again, haven't tried this because I'm
leery of making changes when I don't fully know what they will do to my
system and I wouldn't know how to undo the changes if I encountered a
problem.
