I took a quick look at the kernel code.  There is a switch that sets
whether the ath9k uses 2 channels, CONFIG_ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT.  If
that isn't set to 2 for the kernel you are running, then you won't have
access to the two channels.

Try going to /boot and running 
cat config-[for the kernel you are running] | grep -i ath9k

If it isn't set, you could compile a custom kernel to enable it.
