After suspend/resume the old wpa_supplicant does not die
and ath0 does not come up. Manually running
/etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
or
/etc/rc.d/netif start ath0
does the right thing. I am running yesterday's kernel.
rc.conf contains
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this area still
needs work. As I understand it, wpa_supplicant should die
when an interface goes down just like dhclient should.
Another curious behavior is that after a manual
ifconfig ath0 down
the interface does not stay down.
On the whole I am very impressed with just how easy it has
been to install current and get wireless stuff working on
this laptop (now if only I can get the middle mouse button
working and deal with other minor annoyances...)
