| True, but still the behaviour should be the same after every suspend
cycle.

I'd agree, but if there is a NetworkManager thing taking care of
business in userspace as there should be, it will also cover this case.

it can be the AR6001 firmware or SDIO stack action during suspend or both.

Agree about that, we should move to modularized WLAN but last time I
tried this with Atheros stack I was completely unable to get it to work.
~ Hopefully it's better now.
