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.
