Comment 1 John W. Linville 2007-10-01 14:50:11 UTC
Can you replicate this with the 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2007-10-01 20:50:11 UTC
I have already, didn't work. Or should I say it works sometimes, very
intermittent. I would like to semi close this bug as I am trying to upgrade to
Fedora 8 Beta 2 and wont be able to do any testing, maybe reopen if its still a
bug in 8?

Comment 3 John W. Linville 2007-10-16 17:52:58 UTC
Is this still a bug in current fedora 8 kernels?

Comment 4 Pawel Salek 2007-10-19 22:15:52 UTC
2.6.23.1-23.fc8 resumes wlan just fine *AS LONG* as the configuration is set via
ifcfg-wlan0. NetworkManager still cannot restore its configuration on wake up
for me (but that's another bug). This is with Dell D630.

Comment 5 Pawel Salek 2007-10-20 20:21:47 UTC
I see though one glitch with 2.6.23.1-23.fc8: when I use the killswitch, "rmmod
iwl4965 && modprobe iwl4965" is required to reenable the wireless interface.

Comment 6 John W. Linville 2007-10-22 13:46:59 UTC
Closing as RAWHIDE...please feel free to open separate bugs for the issues 
mentioned in comment 4 and comment 5.
