Wireless Suspend and Resume on Aspire 4530

The issue has been fixed with the latest Linux Kernel 2.6.31-16 updates, I will still leave the post open in case someone needs sleep, resume custom scripts.

As noted after suspend resume the wireless doesn't work due to a bug that broke suspend and resume in ath9k drivers.
However I found a workaround.
Create a script with the following inside
!# /bin/sh
sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sudo modprobe ath9k

Call it ath9kreset for easy recalling of its purpose.

Then put the script into /etc/pm/sleep.d folder.

Make it executable by running

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/ath9kreset

After that wireless should work after each suspend.
