Not sure if this is relevant but I had the same problem and looks like 
the solution for the laptop I was servicing was this (I left this on the 
thread that I had started on the user mailing list[1]):

Just letting people know of the fix for this unit.

The laptop's owner returned it so that I could work on a possible fix to 
the wifi connection. After some testing and trouble shooting, I deleted 
the NetworkManager through the MCC which allowed a more reliable 
connection and I also created this file in  etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf 
with the line &quot;options ath9k nohwcrypt=1&quot; which for some unknown reason 
made for an even more solid connection &lt;-- I found this recommendation 
on a thread somewhere but lost the location.

The laptop now connects to the internet and does not turn itself out, 
and, it no longer cuts in and out randomly.

Cheers,

Marc
