This is listed as "Fix Released" however, I'm still seeing it with the current Jaunty alpha.

Jaunty by default used the ath5k module for wireless. However, with the ath5k driver connectivity was sluggish and intermittent.

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

After moving to the proprietary driver, connectivity improved dramatically along with overall throughput. However, after suspend, the ath_pci driver much be removed and reloaded manual. listing it in /etc/default/acpi-support has no effect.
