And #201. Its a pretty old, known issue. I've made a few attempts at looking 
at it with no result so far. Will make another effort soon, but I cannot 
promise that anything can be fixed in a driver that is partially opaque.

Yep, it is a regression that is biting me too, although most good suspend 
managers (ie powersave) hide it quite well by automating module removal and 
reinsertion, however this will require the networking system(s) to be 
restarted, which is no good . . .

Thanks, Kel.
