I booted from a Ubuntu 8.10 CD and the wireless worked. I upgraded to 9.04 and the wireless stopped working again. I noticed that it was now using the ath5k module in 9.04 instead of ath_pci from 8.10. I edited my /etc/modules.d/ath_pci-blacklist.conf and commented the line to blacklist ath_pci and instead blacklisted ath5k. I ran rmmod ath5k and modprobe ath_pci and the wireless instantly connected to my wireless network.
I tried reinstalling my old wireless card and it did not work with the ath_pci module, nor the ath5k module, nor the rt61pci module which is the module I believe it should be using (this was loaded when I ran 8.10).
Here's the lshw -class network from my 9.04 installation:
