yeah, this was a typo.

What happens if you leave out the hal-system-power-sleep-linux call and
simply put NM into sleep and wake it up again?
What happens if you unload/load the ipw3945 module in between?

I don't own a ipw3945, so unfortunately I can't really debug this any
further. My guess is that the ipw3954 driver is not immediately ready
after suspend/resume. You could try and setup your wireless card with
ifupdown and ifdown the interface before suspend and ifup it again on
resume. Would be interesting to know what happens then.

As a workaround, you can tell g-p-m to not notify NetworkManager.
Edit the gconf key (via gconf-editor)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/networkmanager_sleep and set it to false.

As there is a working workaround and it seems to be a ipw3954 specific
problem, I'm setting the severity to minor.

Cheers,
Michael
