It's really unlikely that the eeepc acpi scripts are the root cause. They do trigger a suspend when the lid is closed. But it doesn't surprise me if the buggy diver bugs out on suspend. You could disable the automatic suspend by editting /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts. However, you can usually work around such driver bugs by unloading the module on suspend. Replace "..." below with the name of the ralink module. cat >> /etc/pm/sleep.d/10ralink << EOF #!/bin/bash SUSPEND_MODULES=$SUSPEND_MODULES ...
