could you also:
 - tell the version of the broken kernel, 
 - the last working kernel version, 
 - test if it works with current kernel-snapshot from
   http://www.kernel.org/ 

Yes, please.

kernel-module "ath5k" gets no IP when using dhcp

Description: It is not possible, to get an IP-address by using dhcp
with the kernel-module ath5k. It is possible, to give a fixed IP to
that module.

It works here - I would guess the packets are getting dropped.
Do you have anything in 'dmesg' while trying to associate?

There are already other reports of this problem in discussion forums.
It seems, the old madwifi-driver works better with dhcp - so people say.

Can you point to such a discussion?  It's best to discuss on ath5k-devel
or linux-wireless ML so we will know about it.
