Notes:

I tried a current snapshot of ath9k from wireless.kernel.org:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
(The snapshot I tested was dated November 10, 2008.)

Transfer speeds were much improved with this snapshot.  This makes me
hopeful that a fixed version of the driver will eventually make its way
into the kernel.

However, I got a kernel panic while using it so I do not think it is
quite ready yet.  :-P

Numbers:
With the stock version of ath9k (included with Ubuntu) I get about 220 KB/sec 
transferring from an FTP server running on my LAN.
With the updated version from wireless.kernel.org the speed is up a little over 
3 MB/sec (about what I'd expect).
