The RXCFG bug is reported to only be with the older chipset.  Atheros
didn't fix that bug in the current generation of processors.  The
newer, N chipsets don't have this bug.  If you're seeing issues, then
chances are very good that it is a different problem.  My work around
likely won't help you much.  I'd start by building a kernel with
symbols and using the debugger to help you track down the issue.  With
the WAR I put in, I'd always get a different trap address.  Maybe this
is something as simple as a driver bug (deref of NULL, say)....
