I never used the debugging stuff, so in this respect I cannot be of any help

If I would want a smaller kernel with ath support compiled in, I would start by just adding the ath stuff in a fresh kernel config.
If that works fine, then I would remove kernel support for network interface cards I don't and never will have. Then I would use this kernel for a while and see how that goes.

If you change one single option in a working kernel and this makes your kernel hang, then you know the cause. If you change a lot of options at one time, and you get a hang, it is rather difficult to figure out, which change triggered the hang.
