Did you put this atheros card in one week ago? :)
ath0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 11
ath0: mac 80.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6, 802.11a/b/g, FCC1A, address
3.7 would crash on ath0 with AR5212 in hostap mode every six hours or so. Your
watchdog does an excellent job, otherwise your board would just freeze.
Not sure if this is an ath problem or a card-specific problem, but later
snapshots (june) made it worse: the system would freeze when you'd do ifconfig
up - probably due to the gpio support that, as you can see, isn't here yet in
this dmesg.
Your best chance is to check out the latest snapshots to see if the problem is
fixed. I reported it a while ago, but didn't check back. I just replaced the
atheros card by an old prism card and that one works 24/7.

a dmesg may be helpful...
Yes, I realised I forgot to include it just after posting, sorry...
Anyway, it confirms that this is the watchdog which triggered the
reset, but I still don't know why...
