This bug is (most probably) related to power_save issues of the Ath9K module.

WORKAROUND: Disabling power saving mode (iw dev wlan0 set power_save off) fixed the problem. I added the following udev rule to set it right:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-wifi-ath9k.rules

## DISABLE POWERSAVE for Atheros 9K Wireless Network Adapters
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wlan*" DRIVERS=="ath9k" RUN+="/sbin/iw dev %k set power_save off"
