The recent patch to load orinoco firmware correctly on resume simply kept the firmware in RAM for the entire time the module was loaded, and only applied to Agere firmware. The first patch uses the new power management notifiers to load and release the firmware prior to suspend and after resume (for both Agere and Symbol). I'm not an expert on where suspend/resume is headed, so I'd appreciate any advice from linux-pm on whether this is the preferred way to do things. The second patch makes the spectrum_cs driver actually invoke this functionality during resume.
