ar6000 (FR's wifi) bugs, workarounds and CLI usage tips, read this for stable wifi

[Rui Miguel Silva Seabra]

With small variations upon your script I have:

1) ~/wpa dir with the following contents:

root at om-gta02 ~ $ ls wpa/
amigos.wpa    casa.wpa      go            maxperf       spot.wpa
wifi-dhcp.sh

(the .wpa files are wpa config files with special setups).

2) maxperf is for the weird cases:

root at om-gta02 ~ $ cat wpa/maxperf
#!/bin/sh

wmiconfig -ieth0 --power=maxperf

3) go just glue's Paul's commands (but required a bit more of sleep time
in order to work reliably, and using sh instead of bash):

root at om-gta02 ~ $ cat wpa/go
#!/bin/sh

CONF="$1"

set -x

fsoraw -r WiFi -- sh -c "sleep 5; wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -D wext -c $CONF" &

sleep 10 && wpa_cli -a /home/root/wpa/wifi-dhcp.sh -B -G100

4) and wifi-dhcp.sh is slightly modified (for instance, I don't have
dhclient):

root at om-gta02 ~ $ cat wpa/wifi-dhcp.sh
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$2" == "CONNECTED" ] ; then
       udhcpc $1
       pkill -f "wpa_cli -a"
       wpa_cli -a $0 -B -G100
fi



5) running the following works, and recovers wifi when resumed after
suspend:

cd wpa ; ./go casa.wpa
