OK, 3.12 is relatively new, so I'm not too worried about that part.

If you do not have a separate device to run as a sniffer, you might as
well start with capturing this on the station with a virtual monitor
interface since that's likely going to be simplest.

Yes.

You can do this on the station running ath9k:

sudo iw wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor
sudo ip link set mon0 up
dumpcap -i mon0 -w /tmp/wlan.pcap

Then try to try to connect to the network with wpa_supplicant and after
couple of reconnections, stop wpa_supplicant and dumpcap. That
/tmp/wlan.pcap should have most of the frames exchanged between the
devices.

You can then remove the monitor interface with:

sudo iw mon0 del
