OK, Lot's of help from wayne_cat and one of the peeps from wireless.org. At the suggestion of their install page I also removed linux-backports before "sudo make install". Was able to build and install compat- wireless-2009-07-12.tar.bz2 then rebooted the computer but still no wireless.
Ran sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k and sudo modprobe ath5k several times. Could not get wireless to activate. Network manager continues to say wireless disabled. still running 2.6.30-10 and wireless is still working flawlessly. Other than the kernel everything is the same, I'm just changing kernels from the grub menu so I'm assuming network manager uses the same settings and should "just work". I tried to follow the bugs page on wireless.org and installed iw for extra troubleshooting logs but I'm afraid it's over my head.
