As stated by Mr. Zimmerman:

We need more people to test the workaround provided here:

Please be explicit about what you tried, how you tested and what the result was, so that we can confirm the validity of the test and hopefully fix this issue for everyone.

=============================================================================================

My machine is a Dell Latitude C610 with both a built-in Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series MiniPCI wireless card using the <orinoco_cs> driver and a Linksys wireless card using the <ndiswrapper> driver. I am currently accessing wireless successfully with the TrueMobile card using the <orinoco_cs> driver. This built-in card does not have the suspend/resume problems the Linksys card has. I suspect it may have something to do with drivers but I am not sure.

I copied the NetworkManager.conf file to the specified directory under /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and restarted the computer as stated.

After booting up again, I tried to get the Linksys card to connect; however, it did not connect to any network available. The TrueMobile card, however, was able to connect to the wireless network and to an open access point it found.

I am wondering if I need to disable the MiniPCI card (the TrueMobile) in BIOS so that it doesn't affect the Linksys card. I am not sure if there is some interference, but I will try to test this out again to make sure there is not.

Are there any files that I should attach in order to give you more information, or any other tests to run?
