I set up a basic statition using madwifi-ng (rev 1350) with these
commands:
{{{
modprobe ath_pci
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
iwconfig ath0 essid MCSD key xxxxxx
ifconfig ath0 up
iwpriv ath0 mode 11b
}}}
Boom, now only sysrq works.

A copy by hand sysrq-P when the system is hung:
{{{
EIP: ath_hal

Sometimes it starts with
{{{

and sometimes with
{{{

Hope this can help you to fix the probelm. Also when it's not
hanging, my cards has a much harder time to associate with an
access point than it has with the old codebase.

Comment:
It could be helpful to also have the offset information of the stack
traces you wrote down. That would be (for example):
{{{
[<e09f8b75>] ath_rx_tasklet+0x3a5/0x660 [ath_pci]
}}}
rather than just:
{{{
ath_rx_tasklet
}}}
