would it be easier to just add elrepo and install kmod-ath5k
I know you work on the repository and if I remember well, Dag has tested 
this particular wireless chipset with the kmod package
Instructions to install elrepo : http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php
package details : http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-ath5k
you might need to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf (or is 
this done automatically)
alias wlan0 ath5k
