 Indeed.

 Right now, I've turned off acpi, cpufreq and anything related to
 system/cpu states that could confuse ath drivers, result: did not help
 at all.

 The ath0 interface works fine as long as I don't traffic too much, if I
 do:

 ath0 is not so badly placed in interrupts:
  0:     250068          XT-PIC  timer
  1:        495          XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  3:       1095          XT-PIC  irda0
  5:          0          XT-PIC  ehci_hcd
  8:          4          XT-PIC  rtc
  9:       1352          XT-PIC  uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, ath0
 10:      10491          XT-PIC  uhci_hcd, yenta, eth0, radeon@PCI:1:0:0
 11:          0          XT-PIC  Intel 82801DB-ICH4, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem, yenta
 12:      13330          XT-PIC  i8042
 14:       8233          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:        196          XT-PIC  ide1

 => 4th interrupt position if you consider cascading.

 I simply don't get why it won't work (or how it could work somewhere
 else).
