Comment 40 for bug 35174

I installed the most recent kernel stuff as of 10 May, 10:30 CDT. I'm
not sure what it all does, but I installed that everything that
gnome-update-manager offered with "linux" in the name -- i.e.,

  linux-386
  linux-image-386
  linux-image-2.6.15-22-386 (.34 version)
  linux-restricted-modules-386
  linux-restricted-modules-common
  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-386-22

I have *NOT* kept the rest of the system up to date, as we have a slow
internet connection. I will be happy to apply specific updates if
necessary, and report back.

Results
---------
Fn-F4 now works to put the computer to sleep. However, the computer
still fails to wake up. (Fn-F4 produces HD LED action, but no wake.)

Fn-F12 works to put the computer into hibernate. Upon thawing, we get
to "mounting root file system...", then some vertical brown-and-black
stripes as reported elsewhere, then a shell with a blinking cursor, and
then the successfully reloaded desktop.

Computer can be successfully hibernated/thawed multiple times (well, two
at least).

This may require a separate bug report, but the wired NIC fails to work
after thawing. To reproduce: start computer without internet
connection, then hibernate, then thaw, then 'ifdown eth0'. After this,
'ifup eth0' appears to send out DHCP requests, but appears not to hear
any responses. After a 'real' restart, however, the network can be
successfully set up in this way. I've reported elsewhere (42572) that
the wired NIC failed to be auto-detected on my machine, and required me
to remove and then re-install the e1000 driver. I'll add this comment
to that bug.
