[Problem] ACPI/madwifi kernel 2.6.4-rc1

[Problem] ACPI/madwifi kernel 2.6.4-rc1

[Niel Lambrechts]

I get a failure of both alsa and ath_pci when I resume from an (ACPI 3)
suspend. After this I can still unload and reload the modules, but never
set up a wireless connection again, unless I reboot. If wireless modules
are not loaded, alsa does not display this resume failure.

When I use APM I can actively perform a wireless ping and play a mp3
when suspending - when I resume things are ok - the audio and ping will
resume. With acpi, both will fail almost immediately after resuming.
When I enable debugging I get:

Feb 28 18:04:01 localhost kernel: R (d21040dc 121040dc) 12104108
1e83f020 00000000 00000960 10000000 5e331911 !
Feb 28 18:04:01 localhost kernel: R (d2104108 12104108) 12104134
128b3020 00000000 00000960 1ff00000 70381911 !

1cf42020 00000000 00000960 1ff00000 23471911 !

but bothing really descriptive.

I am using version ATH v0.8.5.2 from CVS on a Thinkpad R50P with IBM
802.11a/b/g built-in card. 

I am also using my own dsdt table - I have followed instructions to
correct 1 error and 2 warnings using iasl on dsdt.dsl. This fixed
/proc/acpi/events for me, but since I'm not an expert I'm scared I might
have broken something else...
