Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic

release: Ubuntu 8.10
package version: 2.6.27-7.12
NIC: PCI D-Link WDA-1320 with an Atheros AR2413 802.11b/g chipset

After resuming from suspend, the NetworkManager applet spins for a little while, then asks for my encryption key. Even after I type this in, it refuses to connect to the network (or any network, for that matter) although the system detects the card. After unloading and reloading the ath-pci module (sudo modprobe -r ath-pci && sudo modprobe ath-pci) it connects to the network just fine.
This did not occur with the previous release of Ubuntu (Hardy Heron)
I'm wondering how I can set Ubuntu to automatically reload the module when I resume the system (or unload before suspend, and reload upon resume) for the time being, until the bug is fixed.

Hi Caleb, thanks for using Ubuntu and thanks for taking the time to file this bug report! Can you please look at bug #275692, as I think this may be a duplicate of that. If so we can mark it as such and get them the appropriate amount of attention. Also note the Release Notes section: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseNotes#Wireless%20doesn%27t%20work%20after%20suspend%20with%20ath_pci%20driver.

Thanks!
