I think you mean AR9160.
To confirm, can you post the output of sudo lspci -v ?

0xFFFFFFFF is probably overkill.
You can modprobe with debug=0x2000, which will produce a reasonable debug 
output.
Also can you post the dmesg immediately after loading ath9k with this debug 
mask ?

Are you able to at least scan, before trying to associate with an AP ?
If so, then switch to a VT and try to associate and see if the kernel panics.
A digital photograph of the panic (if one occurs) would be great.

I haven't tried ath9k with any mini-PCI card so far, will dig around to see
if I can find one.

The code is the documentation. :)
