here is more research.

Comment 4 Alexei Panov 2012-04-11 20:33:11 UTC
I can confirm this bug. It is very annoying. And I've written script as a workaround.
Script here http://repo.elemc.name/repos/scripts/rfr1002/ath9k-workaround.sh
Simply put this script to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and make it executable.

Comment 5 Alexei Panov 2012-04-11 20:35:04 UTC
Oh, I'm sorry, script is here http://repo.elemc.name/repos/scripts/rfr1002/ath9k-nm
Previous script for hibernation (/ etc / pm / sleep.d)

Comment 6 Evgeniy 2012-04-12 21:27:43 UTC
I had the same and I confirm what these scripts helped me. Big thanks Alexei Panov.

Comment 7 planetan 2012-04-13 00:54:11 UTC

This scripts should reconnect wireless, but if you do not want to focus the wireless often disconnect automatically, you should revert kernel to 3.1.0


ath9k driver with kernel 3.1.0 working well , it will not disconnect automatically.

Comment 9 John W. Linville 2012-04-13 14:05:02 UTC
Please try the test kernels here:

Do they resolve the issue for you?

Comment 10 Alexei Panov 2012-04-13 19:21:51 UTC
This bug appeared in Fedora 17 with b43 module.

Comment 12 netroby 2012-04-16 12:27:14 UTC
Would you please upgrade kernel to kernel 3.3.2?

seems the upstream reverts commit to a stable commit.

thanks the guys from qualcomm.

commit 2ed63a49ab039d590f7f9fef63706d83805079c6
Author: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 10 12:26:11 2012 +0530

    Revert "ath9k: fix going to full-sleep on PS idle"
    
    commit 011afa1ed8c408d694957d2474d89dc81a60b70c upstream.
    
    This reverts commit c1afdaff90538ef085b756454f12b29575411214.
    
    Users have reported connection failures in 3.3.1 and suspend/resume
    failures in 3.4-rcX. Revert this commit for now - PS IDLE can be
    fixed in a clean manner later on.
