FWIW, this appears to be the same problem (at least it produces the same symptoms) as http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1773 and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10605 (the latter is supposedly fixed though).

I added new pertinent information to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10605#c9.

Summary: the ath5k problem also causes other clients to be disconnected from the same AP. It appears to be triggered by significant upstream traffic from the Atheros card.
