So it is definitely not Nick's patchset causing the troubles here.
I have built compat-wireless-2010-11-30 which does not contain this
ath5 patchset.

$ grep ath5k compat-wireless-2010-11-29_compat-wireless-2010-11-30.diff

$ grep ath5k compat-wireless-2010-11-30_compat-wireless-2010-12-01.diff | wc -l
1229

# modinfo ath5k | grep filename
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.37-rc4-686/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko

So I try backwards the c-w-2.6 tarballs and report again.
