Greetings,

We've been talking about the situation with suspend/resume in the
tree. Here's a quick hack to allow one to suspend/resume an
individual device. This may or may not work too well, but it is
offered up for testing and criticism.

devctl -s ath 0 suspend ath0
devctl -r ath 0 resume ath0

Hey Warner,

This is a great idea. Would it be possible to provide a little more background about what the expected failure/success modes are? If we had some easy to follow steps we could ask for testers on current@ and create a wiki with a list of known working/broken hardware. That'd be a great step towards having widespread suspend/resume support.

Thanks,
Jeff
