Looking through the ath9k driver changes, I have a feeling that this
problem is related to the driver defaulting to powersave mode for chips
where the driver isn't stable with powersave mode enabled.  A potential
workaround is:

sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sudo modprobe ath9k
sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

Note: This will drop your connection because you are reloading the
driver.

The card claims that power savings is not enabled even before doing this
but, my connection has been stable for an abnormally long period of time
since trying this.  This potential workaround will not persist through a
reboot or suspend/resume but, if it's found to help people, I can post
pm-utils scripts that permanently disable the power savings.
