It seems to me that in 2.6.34, there is no code to clean up
virtual wiphys in ath9k on rmmod.  Also, ath9k mailing list
is returning error about mis-configured DNS server.

This is with un-modified ath9k driver and is repeatable
every time on my system (crash is often different, but
it always crashes very quickly).

[root@atom ~]# echo add=5 > /debug/ath9k/phy1/wiphy
-bash: /debug/ath9k/phy1/wiphy: No such file or directory
[root@atom ~]# echo add=5 > /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy

I'm new to hacking on this driver..but would love to test
patches, and if someone wants to suggest a good point in
the code to remove the virtual phys, I'll make the attempt.

Thanks,
Ben
