It might be nice to attempt a quick hack to over-ride the country
code to see if that helps anything.

Also, do you have another ath9k nic that you could use instead
to see if the problem happens with multiple nics and/or
chipsets?

Or can you put your existing NIC into a different computer
and see if the problem remains?

Thanks,
Ben
