It wont help you on its own...
You need a lot of patches to get it fully working again.

After a lot of testing with different sets/combinations of patches,
here is what I ended up with:

# Fixes for ath9k (# 52739)
net-wireless-ath9k-downgrade-ASSERT-in-ath_clone_txbuf.patch
net-wireless-ath9k-Make-sure-we-configure-a-non-zero-beacon-interval.patch
net-wireless-ath9k-differentiate-quality-reporting-between-legacy-and-HT-configurations.patch

net-wireless-ath9k-Disable-autosleep-feature-by-default.patch
net-wireless-ath9k-Fix-RFKILL-bugs.patch
net-wireless-ath9k-fix-misplaced-semicolon-on-rate-control.patch

Now theese are all merged in upstream linus git tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

but to make it easier for you, and since some of them had to be rediffed 
to apply cleanly as I only cherrypicked ath9k specific fixes, you can 
find them all here:

http://tmb.mine.nu/Mandriva/Cooker/bugs/ath9k_bug52739/patches/
http://tmb2.mine.nu/Mandriva/Cooker/bugs/ath9k_bug52739/patches/

along with a series file that shows the order they have to be applied in...

Now with all theese in place I have no complaints about the ath9k in our 
2.6.31.x series kernels...

Have fun
