AP?, just some Siemens b/g device signal quality is around 100%, ap is in nearby room WPA2 is used. I did further test, by switching to console and doing there a pm-suspend, and system did hand exactly same way, but I did see a message about softlockup in ath5k. (in phy-...) Also have seen a message about 'not being able to query synaptic...' and eveything was dead including keyboard and touchpad.

Thanks a lot for explanation, now it is all clear.
