Another update:

Jul  5 22:38:39 korben kernel: ath0: device timeout
Jul  5 22:38:40 korben kernel: ath_hal_wait: timeout on reg 0x8:
0xffffffff & 0x00000004 !=3D 0x00000000
Jul  5 22:38:40 korben kernel: ieee80211_new_state: RUN -> INIT
Jul  5 22:38:40 korben kernel: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3
Jul  5 22:39:02 korben kernel: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3

Then the card is dead. According to the manpage, "this should not happen"
:-)

If I pull it out and plug it back in, I get:

Jul  5 22:39:46 korben kernel: ath0: detached
Jul  5 22:39:57 korben kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem
0x20000000-0x2000ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
Jul  5 22:40:54 korben kernel: ath0: failed to allocate descriptors: 12
Jul  5 22:40:54 korben kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ath0 attach
returned 12
Jul  5 22:40:54 korben kernel: cbb1: CardBus card activation failed
