On my Asus-F5N notebook the ath5k module works really fine
together with the built-in Atheros AR5001 wireless adapter.
Well, until i set this laptop into suspend mode (via pm-suspend).
After resume my syslog gets spammed with messages like
"kernel: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2427MHz)".
Whatever i do next (unload+load ath5k or even reboot), i'll _never_
be able to get a working wlan connection again. If i do a
'iwlist wlan0 scan' no network shows up (aka 'no scan results').

There is just one way to get a working wlan adapter again:
1) Power-off
2) Power-on
3) Wlan via ath5k works again (until pm-suspend of course)

Please tell me what logs etc. you need to debug/fix this issue.

PS: I already tried the latest compat-wireless stuff with the very same result.
On WindowsXP the wireless adapter works as expected after suspend/resume,
so i think this can't be just some kind of hardware/firmware error.
FYI this also happens with madwifi (module ath_pci).
