Bug#622753: ath9k: Connection over wlan slows down and dies

[Gunnar Stahl <gunnar.stahl@gunnarstahl.org>]

Hi Ben,
since sunday I am running kernel 2.6.38-2-amd64 (uname -a) (dselect version 2.6.38-5). The wlan module works now almost 
perfect. The "almost" is due to the fact that connection the machine to the android hotspot somehow fails. But all other 
hotspots I used until now work as expected.

Huge thank-you from me!

Yt,

Gunnar
