Subject: ath9k crash 3.2-rc7

Hello.

I have noticed a complete crash (forced switch to console and Alt-SysRq-B 
doesn't work) when I use ath9k driver for my WiFi card. The problem is that 
the crash occurs after a few hours of use, so blind bissecting doesn't look 
like a short-term plan.

My card is (as lspci says):

03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless 
Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Device 1a3b:1089
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- 
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- 
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
        Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17
        Region 0: Memory at d7400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]

I use an Asus N53JN notebook, if that matters.

I have photos of two instances of the crash. The backtrace goes as follows (I 
typed this in, so maybe there is a typo somewhere - I hope there is none, 
though):
