Interestingly, I have the same chipset as you when looking at dmesg:
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5414 chip found (MAC: 0xa5, PHY: 0x61)

I had looked at lspci before, which identifies
168c:001b (rev 01) /  Subsystem: 168c:2062
as "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5413 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)"

I used CCMP/AES with PSK and several different APs.

Machine is a Atom Z510 single core/processor.

The EEPROM of this module is a bit quirky, for example 11a mode (which 
is my primary target) only works with ath5k when the corresponding mode 
flag is modified after it was read from EEPROM.
Apparently, madwifi did not care about this.

What are the numerical PCI IDs of your device?
Maybe detection is sent down the wrong track because of other IDs?

I can also provide the debug output of wpa_supplicant if it helps.

Best Regards and sorry for the disclaimer,
