I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid on a Thinkpad T400 (Atheros chipset)
using madwifi - haven't otherwise messed with the default networking
setup.

madwifi works flawlessly except for this suspend issue. Specifically,
resuming from suspend results in a message saying I'm not connected.
Checking the list of networks shows no wifi APs available. Eventually
I'm prompted for a password, which is already correctly entered. Leaving
it be and click OK or reentering it and click OK both cause it to fail.

Brian's workaround fixes the glitch for me:

In /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/10NetworkManager

        hibernate|suspend)
                suspend_nm
                ;;
        thaw|resume)
                ifconfig wifi0 up <-----
                resume_nm

Add the line with the arrow pointing at it.

Without having this workaround in place, I can instead work around this
issue by running the following 3 commands at a Terminal:

sudo madwifi-unload
sudo /sbin/modprobe ath_pci
sudo ifconfig wifi0 up
