I've not investigated upgrading the ar6k driver.
The only wifi related changes I've made is upgrading wpa_supplicant to the latest version and patching the kernel to not send a wireless event messages that exceeds the maximum allowed size. I could provide you with the new wpa_* binaries to try as long as you're comfortable using the linux command line. I sometimes have to plug the radio's ethernet port into an old wireless N router configurated as an ethernet bridge with dd-wrt when this happens. Perhaps that's another option?
