Can you cat out the /debug/ieee80211/wiphy0/ath9k/xmit
file when it gets in this hung state?  I saw issues where
the xmit queues got hung in our AR9380 NIC systems and
ended up adding an ugly bit of cleanup/reset logic to
get them working again...

Here's the related email thread.

My work-around was too ugly for upstream, but if you decide you
want to try it out, I'm curious to know if it fixes your
problems.

You can find my tree here:
