Ok, I rebuilt the Ubuntu kernel with your 6 patches,
sudo modprobe ath6kl_usb
insert ar9375
At first I was getting an error about not being able find the firmware
file, so I renamed your fw-5.bin to fw.ram.bin.  Now I get......

I then replaced your fw.ram.bin and bdata.bin with the firmware from
ATH6KL-LSDK-WLAN-AIO-OSR-5.0.0.110 and the device registers now....

however it looks like it can not fully authenticate.  repeatedly doing "iw
wlan2 link" briefly shows a connection, then not connected. Network
manager repeatedly tries to connect.  I also put your patches into
backports and tried it on an arm with wpa_supplicant.  wpa_supplicant
keeps trying to re associate.  I can run wpa_supplicant with -dd if you
want?
