Try loading ath_pci manually: "modprobe ath_pci".  Use "dmesg" to check
kernel messages for possible errors.  Try uninstalling MadWifi that
comes with Ubuntu to avoid conflicts.  Run "lsmod" to make sure that
ath5k is not loaded.  If it's loaded, remove it with "rmmod ath5k".

I'm not using Ubuntu; it's just generic suggestions.
