Thanks.

Yes !

Here are a couple of patches to help narrow down the issue.

http://sujith.github.com/patches/wl/0001-ath9k-Add-some-debug-messages.patch
http://sujith.github.com/patches/wl/0002-ath9k-Resync-beacons-after-a-reset.patch

The first one adds some messages, the second sets up beacons properly in case
a HW reset happens. Can you try these and post the log ?

If you are willing to move to a more recent kernel, then current 
wireless-testing
would be a good choice since it has various driver fixes. There are a few
pending ath9k patches which have not been merged yet, you can find it here:
