I changed the Cc''s so hopefully its correct..
  anyway I tried the above but might have gotten it wrong..:

Reading symbols from 
/home/kernel/linux-next/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.o...done.
(gdb) list *ath9k_tx+0xa3
0x4673 is in ath9k_tx (drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c:1136).
1131		memset(&txctl, 0, sizeof(struct ath_tx_control));
1132		txctl.txq = sc->tx.txq_map[skb_get_queue_mapping(skb)];
1133	
1134		ath_dbg(common, XMIT, "transmitting packet, skb: %p\n", skb);
1135	
1136		if (ath_tx_start(hw, skb, &txctl) != 0) {
1137			ath_dbg(common, XMIT, "TX failed\n");
1138			goto exit;
1139		}
1140	
(gdb) list *ath9k_tx+start+0x284
No symbol "start" in current context.

before receiving the email to do the above code with gdb I had cleaned 
the tree out with git clean -fx so rebuilding might have misalighned 
things(but could be wrong)..
