Thanks for the report but we are not kernel developers. You should probably try to report this to the upstream developers.

They can be reached at QCA ath9k Development <[email protected]> and the associated mailing list is [email protected]

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.2), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity.

Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)?
