I'm attempting to run pm-suspend on my laptop (by shutting my lid and on
command line), and its putting my AR9485 wifi card into a funk (i.e. wlan0
interface seen through ifconfig never returns upon resume).
an example of where it failed /var/log/pm-powersave.log
<snip>
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless true:
Turning powersave for wlan0 on...Error for wireless request "Set Power
Management" (8B2C) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
Failed.
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless true: success.

AND...according to
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/documentation/dynamic-power-save
I tried:
iw dev wlan0 set power_save on
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)
This is my first post to this list, so I'm not sure what information would
be useful to help find a solution (or workaround). Here goes nothing
(perhaps I should attach text files next time for large diagnostic
information?):
I built an upstream kernel against gregkh staging tree with a Ubuntu distro
just to see if this would fix my issue and it did not. Either way, here is
some information:
>> uname -a
Linux xxx 4.2.0+ #1 SMP Sun Sep 6 05:53:34 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

I could provide more information from lspci and lshw but I'm not sure what
would help (if at all). The strangest thing about the whole matter is that
if I reboot, the card comes back online just fine.
Thanks again for any help you can provide. I started trying to dig up old
archives from the list but I havent found a quick way to troll through them.
Or if you would rather post a bug report too that's cool. Im interested in
running this down just need a little direction.
