from b44.h:

#define B44_CAM_CTRL    0x0428UL /* EMAC CAM Control */
#define  CAM_CTRL_BUSY          0x80000000 /* CAM Busy */

looks like this bit is polled after writing to the CAM.
I have no idea what would cause the CAM busy bit to stay set forever.

apparently, the hardware is in a broken state, and re-loading the driver
doesn't seem to clear it.

It would be interesting to know if you can unload the driver before
going to S3, and then load it after resuming from S3.  ie. can the b44
hardware survive the S3 transition if it is quiescent?

system will be in XT-PIC mode or IO-APIC mode -- can't be both.  I
assume that /proc/interrupts shows this device receiving no interrupts
after the S3 resume?
