Bug Description
I've had repeated trouble with ath9k causing my system to lock up. It's a macbook, late 2006 model, running 8.10.
lspci -v shows the following info:
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at 90100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
Kernel:
Linux uviol 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Symptoms are the wireless network fails to respond and I am unable to reconnect. I get repeated popups asking for WPA2 password, and lots of messages like this in the log:
[72782.981155] ath9k_config: Unable to set channel

142 hal status 4294967277
First time this happens, I can clear the problem by unloading and reloading the ath9k module. It will occur again shortly afterward. Second or third time around the ath9k module will unload and reload fine, but following this any process that tries accessing the device will hang (NetworkManager, 'ifconfig', etc.) and the system becomes more and more unresponsive until I have to power off.
This bug is a showstopper for me and rebooting twice daily has shot my workflow to bits, so I'm happy to help debug this in any way I can.

This happens for me as well, exactly the same. I had to put the ath9k driver in the modules blacklist in order to go a full day without a crash. As far as I can tell from the information on the web it looks like there is a problem with the 2.6.27 kernel and the ath9k driver that is causing a memory leak when in use.
Not sure if it is related but I can not connect to a Airport Express Wireless N device with WPA2 Personal security. Keeps giving me back a password prompt with a long series of numbers and letters in the password box :(

rmmod/modprobe solved it for now.
I also noticed some weirdness with wireless and intrepid, I also have the feeling that a long psk will make it hard to connect at times.

I have the same with my ASUS M51KR. After a few minutes I cannot start any program in Ubuntu. When I reboot I got a red screen, and Ubuntu starts with a file check. After a few reboots I got GRUB Error 17. The LiveCD has not any problems.

Correction: This bug affects the LiveCD too.

To follow up, I've had great success with wicd:
I replaced NetworkManager with wicd around a week after reporting this bug and the problem has occurred only once since then. The wireless connection is also much more stable and doesn't drop out and reassociate as frequently (or at all, really) as when using NetworkManager. I recommend others try wicd as it has more-or-less solved the problem for me.

Their are two issues here. The original issue is a current bug, however the lockup is separate and fixed as noted below.
The other issues listed are SEPARATE and fixed in 2.6.27.11+ currently in intrepid-proposed.
The workaround is to sudo modprobe -r ath9k then sudo modprobe ath9k although there is a disconnect issue currently being worked through (several duplicate bugs).

I have a similar but a slightly different problem. I have a Macbook 2,1. Wifi works fine after a reboot (and no "unable to set channel" in dmesg so this problem is fixed) but it does not connect to an access point after suspend to RAM. Unloading and reloading ath9k cures the problem (so a simple workround can be put into the suspend scripts) but, as the original poster writes, after the second reload NetworkManager hangs and one cannot even do ifconfig without a lockup.
The problem is present with linux-image-

Suspend is not supported in mac80211 until 2.6.30 which you can only use right now through the wireless-testing git tree. To learn how to get that tree check out the wireless-testing git guide:
http://
If you don't want to compile that entire kernel you can try compat-wireless.
Anyway as for the details of this bug report -- it seems you are no longer getting a crash, please confirm to close this bug report.

Shouldn't lbm be updated for that?

Sure you can try that as well.

Sorry about that, I accidentally loaded all the modules instead of just ath9k.
I fixed it that same day and I have yet to run into the same issue since then.
Thanks for the help.

I have the same wireless chip set, also in a mac book pro.
The wireless connects for a while, then will kick me off. It won't reconnect and it stops other applications from launching properly, and stops me from authenticating when using sudo.
When it kicks me off, if I try to launch a new application, the window opens, but it has no content. I can't take a screenshot of it.
I also couldn't authenticate using sudo when I try to 'sudo rmmod ath9k'.
Shutting down does not happen properly either. Although the laptop shuts down, when I restart, I have to fsck the disks as they aren't unmounted properly.
Restarting doesn't help, a full shutdown (and remove the battery) seems to be the only way to get the wireless working again for me.
As it stands, I have to use a wired connection as I do not want to risk damaging the file system and having to re-install again.
My kern.log gets the following line repeated many times when this problem occurs.
