Sure. I hope at some point somebody will implement proper suspend/resume (i.e. when the suspend callback is invoked all interfaces, stations, keys etc. are removed from the driver) but that's a lot more work. That you mention suspend/resume though makes me wonder: does iwlwifi store all that information locally and restore it to the hardware so that it can actually work with this across suspend/resume? For b43, I at least need to reset all WEP keys. Thanks, johannes
