Hope this helps?
Yes !

Here are a couple of patches to help narrow down the issue.

http://sujith.github.com/patches/wl/0002-ath9k-Resync-beacons-after-a-rese
t.patch

The first one adds some messages, the second sets up beacons properly in
case a HW reset happens. Can you try these and post the log ?

If you are willing to move to a more recent kernel, then current
wireless-testing would be a good choice since it has various driver fixes.
There are a few pending ath9k patches which have not been merged yet, you
can find it here:

For the record, we swapped the mini PCI card to a different one of the same 
model and now it seems to work fine. Could you imagine a hardware fault or 
tolerance issue causing such errors?
