You're very right. I just moved my laptop into the same room where the AP is. 
And guess what: auth and association works straight away. Apparently ath9k sets 
up the card so badly that the transmission power is extremely low! Also I 
couldn't set any other rate than 1M.

So, please forget about these 2 patches. They should not be necessary. Instead I 
will focus on debugging ath9k.

Cheers
