If you see my post on the previous page, I had the same problem. The AR5424 is pretty poorly documented, and I think there are a few different variants of the chip out there as well. Obviously this makes it very difficult for the devs to engineer support.

Luckily for you, it should be easy enough for you to swap your wlan card. I've had reasonable success with an intel 3945 wlan card, although I can't seem to get 802.1x authentication working (looks like wpa_supplicant doesn't have driver support for my nic) so if you need this it might be worthwhile searching for a compatible nic .
