   Hi   
   It would seem that way... a hardware or maybe USB port issue.   
      
   /sbin/modinfo ath9k_htc | egrep "firmware:|0CF3p9271"   
      
   firmware:       ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw   
   firmware:       ath9k_htc/htc_7010-1.4.0.fw   
   alias:          usb:v0CF3p9271d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*
