I was using ath9k on a netbook in various locations (travels) and
circumstances. So far this netbook has on it Fedora 10 but with
2.6.29 kernels. "Standard" 2.6.27 F10 kernels were not suitable due
to various wireless issues :-). In that configuration ath9k worked
very well even in some rather trying conditions (although I do not
know if I really bumed into something of n type; my router at home
is few years old and it surely does not have a whiff of such
protocol). Sounds like an upcoming upgrade will bring headaches.
Thanks Michael. I see one person felt it was solved by the 11-03
compat-wireless. Not sure which I used. (I've already reinstalled on
that machine for various reasons.)
Can Fedora do anything if it's a kernel bug?
Maybe I'll try their (compat-wireless) git and see what happens.

Buffy: Ampata wasn't evil. At least, not to begin with.
And...I do think she cared
about you.
Xander: Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people
thing
would've been a strain on the relationship.
