I found out the issue is not with the hardware or ath9k. It is with the tablet
that I am using. On my Dell Vostro 1520 the pci device ID is reported correctly
without any issues. On the tablet the same card is reported as an Ethernet
Controller and the bogus vendor id.
On another note, even with the correct vendor id, regardless of AP or Station
mode, the transmit rate is still limited 54MBit/sec.
For now, I think we can close this thread on the note that the bogus vendor id
is not an ath9k issue.
Thanks for all the help.

because the hardware code(HAL) will be present from that kernel version only.
