Bug Description

I've got a Compaq Presario M2000 with a BCM43xx wireless card. I've got the card working with wpa_supplicant, however, if I hibernate the computer, when I return from hibernation, the wireless connection does not return.
If I run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it hangs the laptop
If I kill wpa_supplicant and restart it manually, it hangs the laptop.
If I kill wpa_supplicant, unload bcm43xx and reload bcm43xx, wpa_supplicant seems to start automatically (not sure how - though I didn't verify that the kill command had stopped it in the first place) and wireless networking works again.

I extracted the firmware for the card from wl_apsta.o, obtained from here
http://drinus.net/airport/wl_apsta.o
(as advised by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper)

(I'm running Kubuntu)

this seems like it might be related to bug #38329 and I've got the same issue as cyrilo on an hp laptop. I can connect fine, using the bcm43xx module and wpa_supplicant. I close the laptop screen, putting the machine to sleep. When I open it back up, network manager claims to be connected, but I have a message in /var/log/syslog saying the the device isn't ready. Unloading and reloading the module, then restart dbus gets things working again.

I never hibernate for that matter on my m2000 (m2215LA).
the broadcom card just gives up on me.

yes, I definitely do. It isn't consistent though, sometimes the wireless
interface will come back, other times, it won't.
