No, rather the opposite. Ideally it should be passive in the wireless
network that it is monitoring. I've had good success with monitoring
mode and various Intel wifi chipsets.

Wait a sec! That's still a bug. Still very a bug! (And a bug with FreeBSD too!)
The AR9285 has two RX and one TX radio. It _can_ have:
* no antenna switch, so the RX mixing is done on the chip itself (the
A+B, A-B, A, B RX antenna diversity code) - where TX only occurs on
one antenna;
* an antenn
Just to close this thread down. Eventually got to the bottom of the
problem - it wasn't a fault in ath9k.
What it turns out is that the wireless wasn't putting out enough signal
for the router to respond. It has two antenna ports on the back, by
wiring an antenna in to both of these - a connect
