Hm, which version of the AR9285 is it, exactly? Would you just do a quick check (or code hack) and see if it matches the AR_SREV_9285SE_20 (or similar) macro? (I see a WAR in the reference code for that particular model AR9285, that isn't in ath9k.) I'm honestly still not convinced that it's (soley) the AR9285. You _could_ do something naughty like disabling all interrupts and then powering off the NIC (but not detaching it from the bus glue, like unloading the module does.)
