The problem is that
"/lib/modules/2.6.38-7.1-adaptation-pinetrail/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k//ath9k.ko
is missing. Compare to previously installed kernel:

ROOT-meegolem-8-~> find /lib/modules -name '*ath9k*'
/lib/modules/2.6.37-7.28/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k
/lib/modules/2.6.37-7.28/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37-7.28/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37-7.28/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_common.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37-7.28/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_hw.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-7.1-adaptation-pinetrail/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k
/lib/modules/2.6.38-7.1-adaptation-pinetrail/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_common.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-7.1-adaptation-pinetrail/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-7.1-adaptation-pinetrail/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_hw.ko

Which means the system comes up like this
ROOT-meegolem-6-~> lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
iptable_nat            13101  0
nf_nat                 24681  1 iptable_nat
uvcvideo               62814  0
serio_raw              12990  0
joydev                 17378  0
ideapad_laptop         13262  0
battery                14012  0

Whereas it used to come up with these loaded.
ath9k                  65616  0
ath9k_common  1977  1 ath9k
ath9k_hw              243231  2 ath9k,ath9k_common

Now, "modprobe ath9k" fails due to the missing .ko.

....

Regarding the still working wired network... unfortunately, it's no
more stable than previous... It loses ability to route to local
network because the network will eventually disconnect and come back
with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 ... of course, unless you're testing
connections on the local /24 network you'll never see this issue;
just firing up a web browser to an external site -- the networking
will appear to work correctly. Except to any local services or
networked disc servers, which will appear to go offline shortly after
setting up the wired network and transferring some data...

PS: is there any reason why other modules are missing as well, e.g.
snd-hrtimer.ko, snd-hwdep.ko, snd.ko,
snd-page-alloc.ko, snd-pcm.ko,  snd-timer.ko
