This sounds like something I read on slashdot a few weeks ago - that the driver was overwriting the flash RAM on the chip. I was in a rush, so did not note the URL.
As an update, my wireless card stopped being detected a few weeks ago. I simply found a way to used the wired network. Ever since I stopped using my wireless card, the crash/freeze problem has gone away (thank God). This is confirmation that this crash freeze is atheros related and dependent.
