Lets address issues one at a time, you should not face througput issues on 2.6.28 if you are then its a bug! If its something we can fix we can try to merge it for 2.6.28 but it requires a lot of driver changes most likely your best bet is to use wireless-testing or compat-wireless. Please see our guide on how to get the latest ath9k driver [1]. [1] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k#Getthelatestath9kdriver Luis
