Maybe one of the following patches helped.
v3.3-rc1~182^2~44^2~292 ath5k: Calibration re-work
v3.4-rc1~177^2~108^2~108 ath5k: do not stop queues for full
calibration
v3.4-rc1~177^2~108^2~107 ath5k: do not re-run AGC calibration
periodically
What seems oddest to me is that I'm not aware of any patches from
the range 3.2.20->3.2.21 that might have had this effect. Are you
sure that 3.2.20 did not reproduce the bug? If you have time to try
one of the following, I'd be interested:
a. Please test v3.2.20 and v3.2.21 from kernel.org, following
instructions from [1] or the following steps:
# get the kernel history, if you don't already have it
git clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
# fetch point releases:
cd linux
git remote add stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch stable
# configure, build, test:
git checkout v3.2.21
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
# hopefully it reproduces the bug, so try the older kernel:
cd linux
git checkout v3.2.20
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
# hopefully it does not reproduce the bug
b. If (a) goes well, please bisect to find which patch introduced
the bug, as described at [2]:
cd linux
git bisect start
git bisect good <some known-good kernel>
git bisect bad v3.2.21
# a version halfway between is automatically checked out
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
cd linux
git bisect good; # if it works well
git bisect bad; # if it reproduces the calibration timeouts
git bisect skip; # if some other bug makes it hard to test
... rinse and repeat until it prints the "first bad commit"
or until bored ...
# at any step, to see the regression range narrowing
apt-get install gitk
git bisect visualize
# to get a log of revs tested so far, which will let someone
# else pick up where you left off
git bisect log
c. How does a pre-compiled 3.3 kernel from http://snapshot.debian.org
do?
d. Please test the three attached patches together against a 3.2.y
kernel, following the directions at [3] or the following
instructions:
cd linux
git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
git am -3sc $(ls -1 /path/to/patches/0[123]-*)
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Subject: ath5k: Calibration re-work
commit ce169aca0d823d38465127023e3d571816e6666c upstream.
Noise floor calibration does not interfere with traffic and should run more
often as part of our "short calibration". The full calibration is not the
noise floor calibration but the AGC + Gain_F (on RF5111 and RF5112) calibration
and should run less often because it does interfere with traffic.
So
Short calibration -> I/Q & NF Calibration
Long calibration -> Short + AGC + Gain_F
This patch was for some time on my pub/ dir on www.kernel.org and has been tested
by a few people and me. I think it's O.K. to go in.
I also changed ah_calibration to ah_iq_cal_needed to make more sense.
v2 Use a workqueue instead of a tasklet for calibration

Subject: ath5k: do not stop queues for full calibration
commit 62e2c102cc1d2600381410c089ca9a37359577d2 upstream.
Some calibration types interfere with tx activity, but the queue stop does
not prevent that. In fact, some calibration types need tx activity to properly
function, so stopping the queues for them is counterproductive.
In some tests this patch has been shown to improve stability, especially in
AP or ad-hoc mode.

Subject: ath5k: do not re-run AGC calibration periodically
commit 5c17ddc4a047c59638c7eb8537aa887a1ddb9b0b upstream.
All other Atheros drivers run the AGC gain calibration and DC offset
calibration only after reset. Running them periodically has caused stability
issues on some (primarily AR2315/2413/5413/5414 based) devices, leading to
messages such as:
ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462MHz)
ath5k phy0: calibration of channel 11 failed
