ath9k causes system lockup

Bug description:
I've had repeated trouble with ath9k causing my system to lock up. It's a
macbook, late 2006 model, running 8.10.
lspci -v shows the following info:

Symptoms are the wireless network fails to respond and I am unable to
reconnect. I get repeated popups asking for WPA2 password, and lots of
messages like this in the log:
[72782.981155] ath9k_config: Unable to set channel

[72784.336993] ath_set_channel: unable to reset channel 153 (5765Mhz) flags 0x50
142 hal status 4294967277
First time this happens, I can clear the problem by unloading and reloading the
ath9k module. It will occur again shortly afterward. Second or third time
around the ath9k module will unload and reload fine, but following this any
process that tries accessing the device will hang (NetworkManager, 'ifconfig',
etc.) and the system becomes more and more unresponsive until I have to power
off.
This bug is a showstopper for me and rebooting twice daily has shot my workflow
to bits, so I'm happy to help debug this in any way I can.
