This shows that although you have LBM and compat-wireless manually installed the LBM ath5k is preferred. If you want to make use of compat-wireless over LBM (because LBM may not be as up to todatE) please uninstall LBM (or rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates) and then install compat-wireless fresh.
