I am not surprised. Atheros AR9485 is more than 10 years old and 
supported since linux 2.6.38 so I did not expect any improvement in 
Trixie. Can you try with other access points than mobile phones ?

kibi: Different issue, but when reading the installer syslog I noticed 
that check-missing-firmware failed to identify and reload the proper 
module ath9k_htc for the Atheros USB wireless adapter after installing 
the missing firmware. So it seems that the workaround for the usb case 
did not work here.
