I haven't tested so thoroughly. However, I just upgraded to 6.0-CURRENT 
as of yesterday, recompiled the kernel with options

device          ath
device          ath_hal         # Atheros HAL
device          ath_rate_onoe   # Onoe rate control for ath driver

I can now insert my card after starting up mozilla, and I do not get the 
  error I posted previously on the list. Since my system hasn't been up 
too long, I can't say if this also affects the other issues you are 
mentioning.

However, it _may_ be best to compile the kernel with ath compiled in 
rather than using a loadable module, and it may solve some problems if 
you update your source and recompile the kernel.

Since you're on STABLE, I don't know if changes has made it to the 
latest stable.

Cheers, Erik
