Hi,

I have just checked this on v2.6.31-rc1 and v2.6.31-rc2-214-g34f2547
(I wanted to test this on v2.6.31-rc2 as well, but there I had other
suspend-issues that are fixed in todays v2.6.31-rc2-214-g34f2547)

For both v2.6.31-rc1 and v2.6.31-rc2-214-g34f2547 suspend to ram fails
with the test procedure described below, but it works fine when I revert
commit 5bb644a0fd25a5e083ecbfaa92a211db99aa6ef7
"mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume"

Best regards,
Jan
