I have sc_no_suspend_vtswitch:0 which should (if i have the double
negatives right) mean that I *am* switching vt's on suspend.
Whatever's going on isn't enough to let my ath card work.

I noticed by dumb luck that ath worked after resuming when I wasn't
running X, then tried switching via alt-keys, which also worked let it
work.

Dunno.

Sam's seen my ath problem and can replicate a similar one on one of
his laptops, so it's Not Just Me.  It's in his queue but since it's
not killing me I haven't been nagging (and now I'm really unlikely
to...).
