Your interface name and kernel version suggest that you were using 
madwifi, can you still reproduce this issue using ath5k in recent 
kernels (at least 2.6.32/ squeeze)?

Roaming works reliable using ath5k/ kernel 3.0 (but I have been using 
it with 2.6.32 as well) on:

ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70)

Please make sure to use nl80211 instead of wext (wpa-driver).
