sleep/wake.

I've done some more debug after discussing this problem with
Steve Bellovin. If I pre-load all 4 WEP keyslots in the ath card with
the same WEP key, using the command:
ifconfig ath0 nwkey 1:foobar,foobar,foobar,foobar
and then do the ACPI sleep/wake, when I come back from sleep, there is
only one WEP key in an ifconfig display instead of all 4, but, the key
works.
I think this shows that some basic state for the card isn't
being saved cleanly across the ACPI sleep/wake, or that if not
initialized, the default value isn't correctly saved.
I'm going to play with setting the explicit keynumber on wake, and with
using the in-card WEP keystore too later on.
cheers
