In case anyone else runs into this with madwifi-ng, it's fixed with
the latest madwifi-ng-svn ebuild in the je_fro overlay. ath5k doesn't
support master mode yet in 2.6.27 (although there is a patch floating
around) and madwifi-old is completely unsupported (sandbox violations,
should be removed from portage).
