I have found an issue with the ath9k driver that first appeared in Fedora 13 kernel and also found in latest Fedora 14 kernel (2.6.35.6-48). I do not know if this issue was already raised and a fix has already been identified. When a system scans multiple channels on an ath9k interface for an extended period of time and an application like kismet or tcpdump monitors the interface, at some point, the application will stop receiving packets. The period of time ranges from 30 minutes to a few hours (generally less than 4 hours). To reproduce the problem, one can run kismet on the interface. After a while (30 minutes to a few hours), the interface will not receive any more packets. The ath5k driver had similar issue in Fedora 13, but the problem was solved in Fedora 14 kernel.
