I have just ran latest openwrt trunk and it works ok with default settings
on my JJPlus 25APN (Atheros AP48 reference design) with AR2313. You chipset
is a bit different and I don't have any access to it so I cannot really
test.
I have posted already some extra patches to try but maybe you could try
them again. I have just added extra reset I have found in documentation
and shamelessly copied some code from madwifi. From what I have noticed
the chip will hang as in your description on any access to MAC registers
if it's not resetted properly.
So here is the mentioned and untested patch:
[PATCH] Added extra wakeup form sleep in PCI for AR2315 and up
