Since Karmic tracks the 2.6.31 -stable kernels, it's worth reporting
this upstream (CC'd) instead, particularly if it's a regression from a
previous kernel version, using the same ath5k driver...?

Then, it'll be in Karmic in ~ a few weeks.

I did that, too. ;) Hopefully it will be in 2.6.31.2.

Maybe I missed it, but did you actually request the -stable team to
take the patch?  -stable helps more than just Ubuntu... :-)

Greg (or Chris or...), the patch in question is here:

commit edd7fc7003f31da48d06e215a93ea966a22c2a03

    ath5k: Wakeup fixes
    
    * Don't put chip to full sleep because there are problems during
       wakeup. Instead hold MAC/Baseband on warm reset state via a new
       function ath5k_hw_on_hold.
    
     * Minor cleanups

I requested it in Ubuntu and stable in two separate emails, just to be 
sure it will be there when I am going to upgrade. ;)
I apologize if I caused confusion or doubled your amount of work.
Maybe I should have done this in one email to both parties.

Not really a big deal -- still, one email would tend to reduce confusion. :-)
