I'm using 2.6.26.2 from Mandriva cooker.

I'm also thinking its a soft/encryption problem:

The encryption fixes I know about for WPA should already be in 2.6.26. But
ath5k uses mac80211 for encryption so if it is encryption related, then it's
in the interface code between them, or else more wireless cards would have
the problem.

Is this using WPA-PSK or WPA-EAP? I know my card works with PSK but I'm seeing similar results with EAP. Haven't had time to properly analyze the problem yet and my AP is in the office for the weekend.

It looks like you didn't get any scan results. Does 'iwlist wlan0 scan'
work?

CCing ath5k-devel, you'll probably get more help there.
