Sometimes unloading and reloading the module can work:
# modprobe -r ath5k
# modprobe ath5k
Tried it. Did not work :(
Of course the real question is why the card is getting hosed in the first place.

Beats me. But I conjectue that perhaps the ISR for the atheros card
somehow got removed from the interrupt table or the entry in the
interrupt table got clobbered.
