Yeah, I was hitting a similar crash before..though I had more debugging
enabled then.  Someone posted ath9k patches that they thought would
fix it..but not sure they did.

I also don't remember seeing this while I had copybreak in my tree
(I recently removed it to make way for the paged skb code...)
That could just be a coincidence though....

Thanks,
Ben
