Where can I get that preview snapshot of ath5k?
I could test it.

I'll stay tuned as you suggest.

The interface is up and running, but somehow it seems missing
the beacon packets.

AR2413 is not yet properly supported in ath5k. The last statement about this is from 15.02.2008, where Nick Kossifidis said:
"Sorry for delaying the relevant patches, i'm working with the 2413
card i got from Mike to make it work and it'll take some time (not as
easy as i thought, i probably miss something)..."
I am waiting for this PHY to get supported, too.
