I have a Dell Latitude D620 for work. Fedora 10. If I close the lid,<br>
it suspends.<br>
<br>
More importantly, when I open the lid it resumes!<br>
<br>
The wireless required that I load the firmware into /lib/firmware.<br>
Once done, it works well. It has reassociation issues as the AP's seem<br>
to hiccup and when moving around campus but a quick script with a<br>
panel button to stop NetworkManager, stop networking, unload the<br>
wireless module and restart it all and it works fine for me.<br>
