I had the same problem. I have exactly the same controller (AR5001X+
rev01) and it was working in Jaunty using madwifi (because the ath5k
driver frequently froze my system). When I upgraded to Karmic today my
card were no longer recognised.

I then tried to install madwifi-ng from source, following the
instructions on this post
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072). After that the card
were recognised, but the speed was ridiculous ~30 kbps.

Then I simply uninstalled madwifi-ng and removed the ath5k from the
blacklist (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf). It's working
perfectly now. In fact, it's much faster than Jaunty with madwifi.
