This mail is not exactly on topic, but... are you sure about this? I have often 
the following problem with ath5k (I use the version that comes with 2.6.29-rc3 
Linus' kernel):

...forever. A load/unload of the module doesn't solve it, as an ifconfig 
down/up. But a suspend/resume cycle *will* cure it, and on resume I have the 
link back. So I suppose there is something that the suspend/resume does (maybe 
at PCI level if not at driver level) and that a normal reset fails to do.

FYI, apart this glitch and the non-working wireless LED on this toshiba laptop, 
ath5k works like a charm. Thanks.
