I don't know for sure, but I think I might be seeing a similar issue with
atheros, but during bootup instead of suspend. It's not reproducable in a
reliable fashion, but sometimes I get a hang during bootup shortly after
ath0 is brought up. I also see an interupt storm on irq11, which I believe
is also shared by ichsmb (at least on my Thinkpad T60p).
If there is more information I can make available, I'm more than willing.
I'd like to provide a defined way to cause this, but it doesn't seem to
happen in a "regular" way. If anyone has suggestions on this, please share.
Thanks.
