Hi,

   well today I finally had a bit of free time and decided to check 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ for any related bugs, and I've found one. I 
understand that this is not exactly Ubuntu related, but I will post the 
solution anyway, so that if someone else becomes a victim of this bug, 
he/she can solve it in an instance:
1. open your .config file(after you've run make menuconfig) with a text 
editor(like gedit, etc.) and find a line:
# CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI is not set
2. change it to:
CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI=y
3. save and compile the kernel.

Cheers,

Dejan
