I don't use resume at all, so I'm not sure if it will fix the problem
you're having.  It would be nice if it did.  I'm wondering if this ath5k
module is going to be backported.

Spike: You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in 
love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and
you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never
be friends. Real love isn't brains, children. It's blood. It's 
blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's 
bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.
