Hello.

I have the same problem plus my card loses AP randomly and then can't
connect to it/get ip.
When i try to reload (rmmod then modprobe) ath9k, pc just hangs and
blinking with scroll lock/caps lock leds.
Or i get errors about irq (see log attached).
After it loses AP i get many "ForceXPAon: 0" in dmesg.

But i have found that if i turn off bluetooth, it works almost ok and
can work longer before loses AP
(it work more than 18 hours for now). I have one wireless switch on my
laptop for wifi and bluetooth both,
so i unload hci_usb to turn it off.

I'm on Sony Vaio FW laptop with Atheros AR928x card, linux 2.6.24-21
kernel with 2.6-old tar compiled.
I have tested it on 2.6.27-2 with latest wireless-testing but have the
same symptoms.

Thanks.
