Dear All,
I installed a new wifi mini-pci card in my notebook.
It has the Atheros AR9220/AR9223 chipset.
When I boot into level 5 and su to root, I run
modprobe ath9k
and I get error messages from multiple components of ath9k
Here is some info:

I forgot to attach the messages from output of dmesg.
Here they are:
