Sorry, but I have to partially rectify that:
It works, if the time the machine was suspended is short, as it was when I did that testing.
But I noticed it failing, when the machine was hibernated for some hours.
I easily can reproduce that, when I reboot the AP while the notebook is down (btw: AP is TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND running OpenWRT backfire 10.03.1, also using ath9k).
When I do this (hibernate notebook, reboot AP, resume notebook check connectivity) with 3.4-rc2 and your test.patch it fails in 100% of cases.
With 3.4-rc2 and c1afdaff90538ef085b756454f12b29575411214 reverted the same works in 100% of cases.

I mixed up some mails and actually thought Ben had already answered regarding your patch, but that is not true.
