Correct.  I believe the only issue is restoring keys in the global key 
table on resume because the cardbus socket was powered off.  Other key 
cache entries will have been invalidated because the state machine is 
clocked to INIT (e.g. dropping any associated stations in ap mode). 
Note that the key cache contents are preserved across low power 
operating modes (of the ath parts) so the only case is when restoring 
state after socket power-on or equivalent.
