Subject: 2.6.31-rc5 regression: ath5k broken after suspend-to-ram
Hi,
On my old Thinkpad T42p running linux-2.6.31-rc5-246-g90bc1a6,
after suspend-to-RAM ath5k cannot associate to an AP using WPA
anymore. It worked with kernel 2.6.29.1. I'm not using network
manager etc. but connect manually with "ifup wlan0=foo" with the
following in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface foo inet dhcp
#wpa-driver nl80211
wpa-driver wext
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-ssid some string
wpa-psk some key
If I use nl80211 the second ifup fails with
"SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error" messages and the follwing
is in dmesg:
ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
ath5k phy0: can't reset hardware (-5)
With wext it does not give these errors, but the connection
is unstable after the second ifup.

(etc. -- repeats)
(The difference is the "Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.")
To fix this I need to unload and reload the ath5k module
(with modprobe ath5k -r, so it actually unloads ath, mac80211
and cfg80211, too). When I reload ath5k, it often fails with:
ath5k 0000:02:02.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
ath5k 0000:02:02.0: registered as 'phy0'
ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
ath5k 0000:02:02.0: PCI INT A disabled
ath5k: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5
Sometimes I can fix this by unloading + reloading again,
but often I need to unload, suspend, resume, reload to
get it back in a working state.
During resume the following is logged:
ath5k 0000:02:02.0: restoring config space at offset 0x3 (was 0x5008, writing 0xa808)
pm_op(): pci_pm_resume+0x0/0x79 returns -16
PM: Device 0000:00:00.0 failed to resume: error -16
Not sure if this is causing the problem?
In case it matters:
CONFIG_MAC80211_DEFAULT_PS=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_DEFAULT_PS_VALUE=1
Thanks,
Johannes
