ath9k unable to handle kernel paging request

[JohnWagensveld]

Used ubunt-bug-p linux so I presume the system data is allready provided in the report. If not let me know so I can provide it.
I noticed it trying to catch an other problem when I'm using "Ubuntu Software Centre" to install the Wesnoth game it failes due to connection loss of my wirelless.

This is the dmesg log:
