Hi everyone, I too am having problems with ath9k stability as well as possibly speed.
I have tried testing this with 2.6.27-11 & 2.6.27-13 as well as the latest compat-wireless source for March 8th 2009 with my Atheros 5008 chipset (it's a Sparklan mPCIe card).

After about 10-15 seconds transfering a 1GB file, the connection stalls. Prior to that the transfer rate is stated at around 8-9MB/s.

If anyone one would more detailed information about my system and configuration just let me know.
Other than that I guess this is just a "me too" comment. Speed seems fixed, but stability is not, nm-applet of course reports either unknown or 1mb/s.

My system is a Dell Latitude D531 AMD x2 1.9GHz, I'm running the 32bit version of intrepid.

Haven't tried ndiswrapper yet, seems like a good workaround to get this card at least going for now.
