I have to connect to a hidden WEP WLAN with my MacBook.

I have tried with 2.6.27-rc4 and 2.6.27-rc5 more than 5 times to connect to the
WLAN but every time the machine hangs. I cannot move the mouse anymore or
influence the shift LED.

With 2.6.27-rc3 I could connect yesterday on the first try.

$ lspci
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)

My driver is ath5k with ieee80211_regdom=EU parameter.

Sadly I cannot change the AP settings.
