There is no dmesg output on the AP when the problem is occurring.  We *rarely* see the infamous "failed to stop TX DMA" messages, but seems like this is an incurable problem with ath9k drivers across all chipsets, AFAICT.  Plus it does not correlate to this problem I'm describing.

No, but I will.  Do you have any thoughts on the logs I sent?
