After going through older posts - I found this one https://lists.ath9k.org/pipermail/ath9k-devel/2009-December/002808.html
I use the config script in that post and can get the ad-hoc mode to work - the main reason why I think it didn't work earlier for me was that I didn't specify the fixed BSSID/cell number at both ends. But, I observe the exact same behavior as reported by the post - if I change the frequency to 2412, pings stop working in ad-hoc mode. Even if I re-insert the ath9k, it seem like the new frequency I set (2412) doesn't work. If I go back to the 5200 frequency after re-inserting ath9k module, pings start working again. Again, like the post stated, when I set 2412 using iw, I still see the old 5200 frequency in iwconfig. hm...
