Now I'm not trying to be funny,not specific to ath9k.
but I think I figured a problem
with running ath9k, and having the internet
timeout.(for me at least);
When streaming T.V.(cspan2), and
streaming music(somafm), at the same time,
then using the microwave, I'll experience a blackout
of internet(T.V. stops, then music stops streaming);
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=578 has some pretty graphics
to show just how much noise a microwave puts into the part
of the spectrum wifi uses.

no wonder I was having these timeouts.
i.g. system streams fine for 10 hours.
then the next day a timeout after 2 hours due
to microwave use.
Thanks for pointing that blog out.
that opened my eyes up to how powerful
a microwave is. makes me wonder if that
grade in the window actually does what is supposed to.
(block gamma rays or whatever the dangerous wave is);

microwave was the best way to make a signal "wet poop" for
interference testing.
that old, but it's enough to cause
interference. Hopefully not too old
to cause me to go sterile!!
interesting thing is when
the microwave is cold and then started
I noticed more interference, as to when
it's been running for a while.
BTW, having any WiFi stopping working at 30 feet around a microwave oven
makes me think that beast is leaking like mad. I've already ran experiences
with mine in the past, and it could only slightly perturbate the traffic
within one meter (3 ft) which I already considered huge. You may want to
try to put some aluminium foil on the front door, it is possible that the
protection grid is damaged or not properly sealed.
