It looks like there are two issues, and I confused them.  One is
characterized by the kernel messages about the channel, the one
originally reported in this thread.  I have seen it, but I don't
remember the exact circumstances.

Another issue is connection loss to a WPA enabled AP after several
minutes.  That's what I have seen with AR9280.  iwconfig still shows an
association, but no traffic can flow.

I just want to tell that it's two different issues.  The later is much
more critical for me, but it would take about 15 minutes to verify every
step if bisecting.  Unfortunately, I don't have time to bisect it now,
but maybe I'll do it later during this week.
