Power-hooks were added to the driver about then. The good thing is that
you don't have a pull the interface down before suspend on a laptop, the
bad thing is that you have pull it up manually after resume before it
will work.

I am assuming you have a PCI card, since I'm not witnessing your random
changes in state on my Cardbus version.

The code is not quite stable at the moment. In addition to the issues
mentioned above, I've had a few panics in the powerhook-section of the
driver. This is more or less a known problem already. Last I heard, it
was almost worked on, also ;)
