Kernel 2.6.36 tiene problemas con el wifi, este no inicia luego de suspender… ath: Couldn’t reset chip
Al parecer los kernels mayores a 2.6.35 tienen este problema, yo creí que lo solucionaba compilando compat-wireless, pero no, al parecer rompieron algo en el kernel, esta es la salida normal, compilando el kernel 2.6.36:

———————–NO FUNCIONABA CUANDO LO PROBÉ, NO SÉ SI AHORA LO HAGA———————
Luego de suspender y resumir, obtenemos una PC lenta, lerda, sin wifi…
Cómo solucionamos el problema?
En mi caso he instalado el compat-wireless-2010-10-20, tan simple como:
./scripts-drivers ath
make
sudo make install
sudo make wlunload
sudo modprobe ath9k
Voilá!, tenemos wifi nuevamente y los errores ya no pasan…
NOTA: Esto parece haber sido corregido en la versión 2.6.37-RC2
