Bug Description
I have a ThinkPad X61 running Jaunty. After suspend and resume the Atheros card does not always work: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the latter case, removing and reinserting ath5k does *not* help. Thus this bug seems to be other than bug #275692. When it happens again I will add more information about the exact circumstances and symptoms.
$ lspci |grep -i ath

For what it's worth, I had this problem with ath_pci and Intrepid, but with Jaunty and ath5k suspend/resume works ok. Are you sure this is a driver problem and not wpa_supplicant / NetworkManager ?
