Control: severity 798128 minor
Control: retitle 798128 needs restarting after suspend if modules unloaded

I have since discovered, while debugging another problem, that I had
this in /etc/pm/config.d/local to work around problems with wheezy (or
perhaps squeeze):

  SUSPEND_MODULES='uhci-hcd ehci-hcd cdc_acm cdc_wdm dell_laptop dcdbas mac80211 cfg80211 tg3 broadcom libphy'

Commenting that line out makes everything work even with wheezy's
wpasupplicant.  Simply unloading and reloading these modules with
modprobe doesn't seem to reproduce the bug.

I still think there is probably a bug or a race in wpasupplicant but
it may prove difficult to track down.  If you would like to give me
instructions, I'm happy to try experiments.

Thanks,
Ian.
