WTF -- this ended up in a bisect pointing to some PCMCIA patch! Justin:

  * does this happen with wireless-testing.git ?
  * Did you do the bisect on the entire kernel? What git tree are you
using to bisect?

Did you simply bring up the interface and then suspsend? Did you not
add a new interface in between this? ath5k's add_interace has:

        if (sc->vif) {
                ret = 0;
                goto end;
        }

But why does it just allow this to go through without complaining if
multiple vifs are not supported?

I see no updates to this since August. There are boat load of PCMCIA
changes recently, is bisect possible here?
