Yes, it works fine, or at least much better than ath9k in its current state. We 
don't have the source for Atheros drivers, it was part of the original firmware 
which was installed on these devices. We have asked if the vendor modified 
anything to "tune" for these particular devices, and that would be: disabled 
RTS/CTS, increased beacon interval, disabled beamforming. This didn't give us 
any clue why we have problems in ath9k, though ....

Thanks a lot for your help! :D
