I have a similar problem on my wife's Acer laptop which uses the ath9k
driver. I've done two things. One, created an account on the kernel
bugzilla so I can hopefully help get the problem fixed (as well as
subscribe to the bugs so I get notified when there are updates). And
two, downloaded/compiled/installed the latest compat-wireless[1] which
lets you use the latest wireless drivers with your existing kernel.

I only have subjective results thus far but the bleeding wireless
drivers did SEEM to make an improvement. Before I could not get a
complete backup of /home from my BackupPC server over wireless. After
installing the latest drivers I still got one disassociation while
scp'ing a 25MB file but the backup finally was successful.
