Summary0005978: Ath9k internal wi-fi card (AR9565) don't work corretly on kali 2019.3, 2019.4
Description

I've installed 2019.4 and 2019.3 kali from iso on usb (as live and as full setup).
My internal notebook wi-fi card don't work corretly. (Wifi keeps dropping. Connection starst normally but then the bit rate goes down to something like 1-6mb/s and then it disconnect.).
Just installed old version (2019.1), and wi-fi works great.
My steps, that i tried to fix (doesn't helped):
Update and upgrade though ethernet cable, installing backports, come changes in configs.
Syslog and "iw dev wlan0 link" command in "Additional information" section.

Steps To Reproduce

Install kali 2019.4 on notebook or other device with internal Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01). Do some load (eg apt upgrade).

Additional Information

There are errors in Syslog:

Looks like, problem exist in 5. kernel. Have tried to update 2019.1 (Linux kali 4-kali3-amd64) to 2019.4 (apt full-upgrade). And after kernel updated to Linux kali 5.3.0-kali3-amd64, wi-fi problem appeared again.
