Bug Description
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
2) The version of the package you are using:
6.30.
3) What you expected to happen
When I wake my PC from suspend by touching a button on the keyboard, I expect the PC to resume.
4) What happened instead
1 time out of 10: The PC resumes.
9 times out of 10: The fans spin up, but the display doesn't even wake up. The system isn't reachable over the network. Ping doesn't work, CTRL-ALT-Fx keys have no effect, the reset button of the PC doesn't work. The only way to reset my PC is by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. (When the PC is running normally, the reset button works. I did verify the wiring of that button.)
When this package isn't installed, the PC wakes up 10 times out of 10. I personally don't need this driver, so I will just uninstall it as a workaround. I have just verified that, when installed, the wifi seems to function correctly at the maximum speed I can reasonably test. I noticed, but didn't thoroughly test, that when the PC is suspended while connected to a wireless nerwork, resume always works. (I suspend/resumed 5 times).
