Hi Pavel,
See again between the lines.

The network device is probably called wlan0, not ath4. Use iwconfig to
see which devices you have.
Ok, this is indeed wlan0:
sam@Alix3d3:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz

But it don't works:

The native interface for ath5k and most modern drivers is "nl80211", but
"wext" should work just fine.
This does not work at all:
sam@Alix3d3:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Unsupported driver 'nl80211'.

NetworkManager can be turned off with GUI. Right-click on the network
icon and uncheck "Enable Networking".
Ok, I checked this and there is no bookmark against 'wireless connection'.
I have to enable 'wired connection' otherwise I can't anymore login through the fixed interface with putty.
wpa_supplicant can be killed by killall:
killall wpa_supplicant
This is also not a solution:
sam@Alix3d3:~$ sudo killall wpa_supplicant
sam@Alix3d3:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iath4 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
