AFAICT that will just make sure the debug messages get logged, but not
make them appear anywhere the other messages aren't appearing eg on a
console or net console. I could try tail -f /dev/xconsole.

The ath9k module has a "debug" parameter. It just says it's a mask and I
don't know how to use it. Do I set bits to enable or disable levels?
What value to log "everything"?
