This has been my experience as well, on an acer aspire one: f9 + madwifi
worked well, but didn't work after suspend/resume (unless you manually
rmmod/modprobe again); f10 + ath5k in the .27 kernel works just as well, but
also after resume.

The only real downside of the current ath5k is that the wifi status LEDs no
longer work, but that's a small price to pay for everything working after
suspend/resume, and for not needing the madwifi kmod.
