Actually, I never used suspend.  In general, I only use the laptop(s) on
occasion, preferring the desktop.  

However, as far as connecting and keeping the connection goes, the
MadWifi always seemed a bit better, especially with the latest (and
possibly last) 20080903 snapshot.

Thanks for the input.  I'm really beginning to think (from talking to
friends as well) that it's an Aspire One thing.  (On the Aspire One
forums, many people mentioned something similar--the MadWif driver
working better than the ath5k.)

Thank you.
