Atheros AR5212 not working after suspend with pm-utils (gnome-power-manager)
My ath0 device wasn’t working after resuming from a suspend on Fedora 8. modprobe -r ath_pci followed by modprobe ath_pci fixed the problem. I decided to automate that, so I read a bit of the pm-utils scripts and wrote the following simple script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/wireless
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions
case "$1" in
resume|thaw)
modprobe ath_pci
;;
suspend|hibernate)
modprobe -r ath_pci
;;
esac
exit $?

Hello,
I had the same problem with atheros equipped PCMCIA card in my notebook, I found your solution, but in my case card is not always sitting in the notebook, so I decided to modify your script a little. Now the script checks if the card was in use or not before a hibernation. Here is the result:
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions
case “$1″ in
resume|thaw)
ath_sleep=`grep sleep /tmp/atheros_sleep | wc -l`
if [ $ath_sleep -gt 0 ]; then
modprobe ath_pci
rm /tmp/atheros_sleep
fi
;;
suspend|hibernate)
ath_pci=`lsmod | grep ath_pci | wc -l`
if [ $ath_pci -gt 0 ]; then
modprobe -r ath_pci
echo “atheros sleep” >/tmp/atheros_sleep
fi
;;
esac
