I've tested 1:0.9.3-1 and 0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2 with the same
2.6.19.7 kernel. 1:0.9.3-1 fails in the same way as
1:0.9.2+r2156.20070225-1 with 2.6.20.x, described in this
report. 0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2 works fine with 2.6.19.7.

The problem is probably this:

ath_pci.ko 1:0.9.3-1 is missing depends on
ath_rate_sample. 0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2 is dependent on
ath_rate_sample, 1:0.9.3-1 isn't.

Is this problem specific for my system? If you try
'modinfo /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/ath_pci.ko' , do you see
"depends:        ath_hal,wlan" or
"depends:        ath_hal,ath_rate_sample,wlan" ?
