No idea. But I found a mini-PCI AR9160 card and it works fine here.

CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUG should be enabled in your kernel .config to enable debugging.
See: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k

AR9160 is supported by ath9k, so no worries here.

Search for serial console / netconsole debugging guides on the net.
