I can confirm this bug. I have this card:
09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network
Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 3071
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 96, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
Region 0: Memory at fd2e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] #80 [0000]
Kernel driver in use: ath_pci
Kernel modules: ath_pci, ath9k
(as you can see, using madwifi currently, not perfect but seems to
work).
Nearly everytime when nm-applet tries to connect with ath9k it spins its
icons in the system tray for a few seconds, and then the system freezes
(no mouse, etc. - need to resart). The few times where it does connect,
it usually hangs itself a few minutes afterwards. Also tried today's
compat-wireless drivers, same result.
Ubuntu 8.10 with uname: Linux maxauth 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan
29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
> dmesg | grep -i ath9k
[ 11.911350] ath9k 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[ 12.343578] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control'
[ 12.420150] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::radio

[ 12.420185] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::tx
[ 12.420202] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::rx
I know, without a stack trace there is not much to do, I really don't
know how to get that after my system just stops responding to
mouse/keyboard.
