It should be OK for the release without the multiqueue backported.
Multiqueue was added back on the 2.6.32.4 release so 2.6.32.3 should
be the last release without it. That I believe was tested to work
well with ath9k.

After that I have not received any feedback with respect to the multiqueue
backport. Feedback on that is appreciated.

You should not need to do much but just test. Can you please let me know.

This one should just work:

http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.32/compat-wireless-2.6.32.3.tar.bz2

Newer stable kernels after this required multiqueue backported which I
gave a try but haven't gotten reports from users on:
