On my machine the card is detected as usual, connecting to an ap with
wpa2 the first time after driver was loaded does work, but after an
ifconfig wlan0 down / ifconfig wlan0 up it is not able to reconnect again:

rmmod ath9k
modprobe ath9k

After reverting db6a6a78d8602964c9dfb1d8ce18daefd92da0a7 in 3.3.1 it
works again as expected.
