Cc'ing linux-wireless and ath9k_htc_fw list. The firmware is open
so any issues can now be debugged in collaboration with the community.

You may try the newer backports:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.12/backports-3.12-1.tar.bz2

And as for the firmware it seems to be the latest but I'll let
others who are maintaining that now chime in.
